Re: [Simmons Drums] Are the Simmons SDS5 pads compatible with an Alesis DM5?

2006-10-19 by jesper@electronic-obsession.se

If you find someone who knows what they're talking about and it's something 
like the PSU it's both worth it and shouldn't cost too much. But that 
depends on what "too much" is. Anyone on the list in your part of the woods 
maybe?

Hopefull I can find it. I have a lot of items stored so hopefully it is 
there somewhere. Do you know of a person that could repair it for me if I 
can find it?  And, would it be worth repairing...probably would be pretty 
pricey!

something like that. So whatever you do - don't
throw it out unless you haven't already. it's probably fixable by someone
_not_ a moron!

And welcome to the list - we sure could use some ladies around! ;)
