Subject: Re : [Simmons Drums] ZI Playing Surfaces

Hi Ed, I'm interested.

I've only one pad in that extreme condition ...
it seems it's not all of them. I have some quite new ones still smelling the new rubber & having the sweet new aspect & rebound.
maybe there has been several series, I don't know. the sun & UVs exposure may have been changing the chemical reaction of the rubber... who knows...

I think every SDX owner should be interested ;)
 Let us know .
Patrice.

Hey all.


My ZI playing surfaces are starting to crumble at a frightening rate - like visible disintegration with each hit. I've tried about every rubber reconditioner out there and nothing is helping slow the process. So, I'm writing to see if someone has a stockpile of NOS surfaces or if there's interest in having new ones made. I'm inclined to favor having new ones made as NOS ones will likely develop the same problem. Anyway, let me know if you're interested and I'll get with the local rubber company to get pricing info together.
