Simmons SDS7

2008-07-09 by Mark Walley

First, let me say that I am a new member to this group.

Second, I am a vocalist, bass player, guitar player, a poor 
keyboardist and not a drummer.

Third, I have a small recording studio in my home.  Really, it's my 
office, with as much musical gear as I can squeeze into it.  So, 
here's my dilemma:

A friend gave me his 1984 Simmons SDS7.  He said that it didn't work 
(oops, his mistake, my gain), and I was welcome to take it off his 
hands.  It is fully functional.  Here is a list of what I have:

5 drum pads (1 bass drum, 4 regular)
8 modules:
    1 Bass Drum
    2 Tight Snare
    1 Rock Snare
    3 Bright Tom
Brain with Rack Ears
Selector Pad (16 channels)
Operating Instructions

I have various cables (XLR Male to Female, XLR Male to 1/4" TS Male), 
a couple drum stands with clamps and dual L-brackets, and legs for 
the bass drum.  All the pieces are somewhat rough and show some age 
and wear, but they are all functional.

I recognize this for what it is, and what it might mean to someone 
with a need/desire for it.  I don't necessarily want to keep this 
unit, but I would like an electronic kit for learning/recording 
purposes.  

Anyone interested in making an offer?  I will entertain cash offers, 
or will trade for a decent used electronic kit in good working 
order.  Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.  I can 
provide video, photo, or sound samples via e-mail - just drop me a 
line.

Thank you,

Mark Walley
