Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

hello and welcome
i have a spare sde sat under the bed
should work certainly lights up or it did last i looked 
but without the manual they are pretty unfathomable (however it's spelt) which is why it's sat there and for the sounds they produce any good midi synth
then again back in the day i was trying to fill a rack with simmons gear
intrested 
mtx 9's do pop up on ebay - not as regular as i thought they should
again pads are a regualr on ebay (or here)

  Subject: [Simmons Drums] Hello everyone


  Hi,

  Discovered this group after a trawl of the net and thought I better 
  join.

  Reason I'm here? Well, I used to own a Simmons kit (though I can't 
  remember which one) many years ago (early 80s). It got stolen 
  unfortunately. Always wanted another one since. Well, my eldest boy 
  is learning drums so I was going to build him an electronic kit for 
  silent practice at home (I have a Roland TD6 module and a set of 
  DDrum triggers and as I build custom drums I thought this would be a 
  good plan). Then I saw an SDS100 on Ebay and snapped it up. I've 
  cleaned up the pads - resprayed and laquered the plastic and now just 
  about to start sorting the rack out. Again, it needs re-spraying and 
  lacquering. But we're getting there. I've also just scored a SPM, 
  again on Ebay.

  What I'm thinking now is off-loading the Roland module and set of 
  triggers and keeping it all Simmons. But, I believe Simmons made a 
  unit for triggering cymbal sounds? Is this true? If so, can anyone 
  provide me further info? Also, despite trying I can't locate a SDE 
  and MTX-9 expansion module. I've seen a couple in the States but they 
  do not ship outside the US. Anyone know where I can locate one? Also 
  would like to add a couple of pads to the whole set up so if anyone 
  has anything available I'd be pleased to hear from you.

  Sorry for such a long post! Didn't mean to bore anyone on my first 
  time! Heh heh.....
