Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi there Darren,

It has varied a bit with shipping, the US is cheaper than the UK, 
the US don't do surface mail anymore which is strange but as an 
example I got 4 toms pads and 4 tom arms sent this week from NY, it 
ended up costing about AU$120 for shipping and thats for 5 working 
days.

The most I've ever paid was US$210 and that was for a full SDS1000 
kit including the brain, leads and stands.

Hope that helps mate.

Matt.
