Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi list,

Jenna and I spoke in a swedish synth forum about the number of SDS-IV's 
produced. This led me to think about the rest too... Does anyone 
(Patrice with his connections maybe?) have any reliable figures to 
share? Please fill out this list with models, confirmed numbers or 
comments, guesses are OK too if well-educated. ;)
I'd like to see a compilation of the highest serials ever seen...

Here are a few assumptions and guesses from your humble moderator:

SDS-I (the original prototype): 1 unit
SDS-II (afaik a slaughtered test): 1 unit
SDS-III (has anyone seen numbers above mine? (98)): 100 units?
SDS-IV (has anyone seen numbers above mine? (19X))? 200 units?
SDS-V (MusicAid, mk1, I think I've read 100): 100 units?
SDS-V (Simmons, mk2, four digits at least): 5000 units?
SDS-6 (I've never owned one and they're scarce): 1000 units?
SDS-7 (four digits at least): 5000 units?
SDS-8 (many! The best seller maybe?): 5000+ units?
SDS-9 (also many, but I see the 8 more often): 5000+ units?
SDS-200
SDS-400
SDS-800
SDS-1000
SDS-2000
SDX
MTX-9
Trixer
TMI
MTM
ADT
EPB
SPM 8:2
ClapTrap (mk1 - a few hundred): 200 units?
ClapTrap (mk2 - a few hundred): 200 units?
ClapTrap (mk3 - thousands): 1000+ units?

etc.

So, archeologists... give us your best guesses but do peak at figures on 
your units.
