[Simmons Drums] Re: It's my lucky day...

2005-08-10 by monodist

Aargh. Congratulations. 
I had been searching for months here in the Netherlands until I finally found an SDS8 
which just happened to have been sold a day before. Luckily the buyer had no idea 
how to tweak the knobs to an acceptible sound and sold it again including 5 pads and 
a pearl drumrack with clamps and everyting. I just couldn't wait to get home and set 
it all up. Finally a Simmons. Still need to have it fixed to get rid of the hum, but that 
shouldn't be too hard I quess.
I combined it with a Pearl DRX1 kit and a Roland TD5 for the cymbals. Still searching 
on the internet and in second hand shops but never before seen a bargain as Jesper's 
SDS2. Where are all the old ladies that are supposed to have original Simmons gear in 
the attic?
