Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi guys

Yes, they DID come in Yellow!!

I owned a set of them here in New Zealand, bought them brand new from the NZ dealer, ex-Split Enz musician Paul Crowther.  Sold them in the early 90's.   Tried tracking them down last year, but no luck... :(

cheers all,

Gwyn,

Hi Matt,
are you sure also the SDS8 pads appeared in yellow? Not only the MarkIII (SDS9 etc...)?
