Oh man...it's hard enough to find simmons gear in good nick. A working pollard in good physical condition is like looking for hens teeth to pull. Those who have them are unlikely to part with them unless you can persuade with a large cash bundle. Pollard is the grand daddy of the drum synth genre and if you find a goody you'll see me standing in line somewhere in front of you...=).
A completely different beast to the "simmons sound". For general weird crashes, pind, booms etc they are the beez neez.
