Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hello:

The first thing you would want to consider, and may already have, is 
the unit is probably not 110 volts, and you would need to do 
something about that to use it.

Also from the single photo, the pad shown looks like an SDS9 snare 
pad.  This would be a dual trigger pad, with a 1/4" plug.  I might be 
mistaken on this, as maybe Simmons later sold this type of pad with 
the SDS7, and hopefully some more knowledgeable than me will weigh in 
on this.

The price of over $2000.00 US is pretty high.  I paid under $350.00 
each for both my SDS7s.  

I hope this is helpful to you.

John
