Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi all

firstly my kit is pictured in the photo gallery in "Rogers SDS7 
@20YRS OLD"

I am 38 years old and have owned this sds7 from new , whan i 
purchased it at age 16 :-)

currently the kit has been in storage for the last 18 months , each 
item individulally bubble wrapped for protection, and stored in 
wardrobe space in my spare bedroom.

The room in the pictures became my 18 month old daughters room , and 
is no longer my drum room - sob ! (

anyway its unlikely the kit will see  the light of day for another 
few years , due to the possibility of a 2nd child etc 

i don't need to sell the kit , and can continue to store it , but for 
the right price , and a new good home - i may well bite the bullet 
and let it go !

so firstly , how much is it realistically worth in uk pounds ? £

i don't want to ebay sell it , i hate ebay , and if i sell it , buyer 
will have to collect its bulky and heavy - i am based in st.albans 
herts in the uk - approx 20 miles north of london just off the m1 / 
m25 motorways .

the kit is immaculate ,it has gigged a few times , we me keeping 
guard over it , also it has been well cared for , cleaned polished 
etc over the years .

i am the only player of this kit and the original owner - i even have 
the shop purchase receipt for it still - lol

the only damage to the drums themselves - is a few minor scratches , 
so the shells and drum heads are in very good condition , as well as 
all the metal work stands etc

i am not interested in breaking the kit up for sale - if it goes it 
goes as a complete working kit to a new good home i hope.

To confirm what i am not selling 

the carlsbro amplifier
hit hat cymbals and peddles 
2 cymbals and stands 
drum stool 
bass drum foot pedal

the kit comprises the following - being offered for sale
