Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Finally joined the Simmons Brethren - but Lo Tom Problem!

From: jesper <jesper@...>

Hi,

the SDS-9 is famous for it's failures. Are you sure that the brain is
intact? It sounds like the mysterious problems are (sadly) typical SDS-9
issues...

I have none myself so I have not much help to offer, but I have read a
_lot_ of testimonies from owners of faulty SDS-9s. Hopefully some of
these guys are here to help.

Happy new 2016 hexaheads! :D
