Sweet score! Sorry to hear it has problems.
Given how much is wrong with it, I would recommend sending it to Michael. He knows Simmons stuff inside and out.
Best of luck!

I cant make the similar sounds on them, even if the knobs seems 100% similar! High tom has shorter and sharper decay, Mid tom seems to be as it should be, the low tom sounds dull, noise too closed, and there's no way to open it :(
