Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Oho, I received some specs from the company called "Simmons". I
anticipate that the highlights are: 9V DC Adaptor, 48 practice songs,
pair of drum sticks, ....

I cite my correspondence with the "Simmons sales department". My
Question was:

"Hi,
interesting to see electronic drums labeled "Simmons" after so many
years. So, honestly: Is there any relation between Simmons today and
Simmons in the past but the name and logo? This would be hard to believe?!
Where are your products? Any pictures? Specs? Sounds? docs?
Any presentations scheduled?
Or is this page (and the rumor around it) only supposed to be a kind
of measure for general interest before there will be a physical product?
Thanks in advance for your answers"

And the answer from sales@...:

"Hi Wolfgang,
