On the F.S.R. topic...

Interlink was the manufacturer for Simmons' various SDX F.S.R.
elements. I checked with the company (still in business here in
California) and asked if they still had templates or parts for any or
all of the Simmons SDX pads and pedals.

Sadly, they do not. They said all the original templates and plans
were sent back to Dave Simmons some years ago. If he has any of the
stuff, it would be wonderful to get our hands on it. 

I know where Dave is today but hesitate attempting to contact him
about drums. Any opinions, or has anyone actually spoken to him?
