Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hello everyone,

I am Mark and I live in the states and am new to the group. Discovered Simmons in the early 80's and have been tinkering with them ever since. Have owned and sold them all! Many, many regrets ... I even had a Simmons Suitcase at one point ... I'd kill to get that rig back!

Anyway, I am considering joining a retro new wave cover band and would love to have a Simmons kit somewhere in my mix ... might anyone here have a basic kit they would be willing to part with? Nothing fancy mind you, I realize the SDSV and 7 are pricey and rare ... would also consider a rig of old Pollard Syndrums but they are just as rare and very expensive I would imagine.

How about that Musicaid up on ebay right now? Haven't seen one of those in years ... nice price tag on it right now, for sure.

Glad to be a part of the group, it is wonderful to see that some things last the test of time.

Best,
Mark
