Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

I am a poor boy, I only have two.
I had also been thinking about bidding on these (the ones from
Maidenhead, right?). But I got my second one two days before for
400EURO 12 ZI pads included from German Ebay and picked it up 60km
away ;-)
My first SDX (#019) I picked up in Hamburg from the third owner, it
was originally owned by Simmons product manager Sibi Siebert from my
home town Leverkusen/Germany. I accidently got him to know when buying
an SDSV from Ebay. He still (or again after the Simmons disaster) has
a distribution of acoustic drums and parts. His SDX #019 was the
showroom kit on the Frankfurt music exibition in 1987.

The second (#170) was originally owned by a turkish pop band (please
don't ask me for the name). The brain needs some service but I
contacted Sibi, he gave me the contact to the former Simmons service
point which is 20 minutes by car from me.
