Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] RE: Prototype Clap Trap rack?

Looks like it was made using SDS3/SDS4 parts. It has the serial number sticker and it looks legit to me. I could be wrong of course as I've never seen one like this before.

I got a Musicaid Claptrap this time last year for a VERY reasonable price. (About a fifth of what they have been selling for of late).  The seller didn't realise what they had, I was literally shaking with nervousness when I went to collect as I thought they were going to pull the plug or decide they wanted £750 for it.

I LOVE mine and use it all the time. I don't think I could live without it now.  Hopefully Dave resurrects the Claptrap when he gets the Simmons name back, an analogue Claptrap with MIDI would be great.
