I clicked "I found a mistake" and left the following bitter comment:

"Re-branding chinese crap with the Simmons logo was never a nice thing
to do. It's also debated and has been the target of legal discussions.
Dave (the orginal) Simmons isn't too happy about Guitar Centre use of
the name and logo.

We who love and use the original Simmons drums feel saddened by the fact
that a good online store like Thomann markets these crap kits and isn't
ashamed to mention a lot of major bands that used the original Simmons
kits and wouldn't even on a bad day glance towards these new _toys_.
