Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Nothing! I bought a SD5K from GC a couple years ago, it was indeed a 
cheap chinese kit, not too bad for the price (the first Roland kit 
was much more expensive, and the Alesis kit was really bad). I've had 
problems with the kick pad, GC replaced it under warranty.
I know it's got nothing to do with the original UK Simmons.
When I saw the new kit at GC, I just though you guys would be amused 
by the new pads... nothing more.
