Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi Jesper

I am pleased you found the SDS-3 info useful.
My SDS-V is the standard config. without the cymbal and hihat modules (I
used pictures from E&MM magazine
on my web site).

Before I got my SDS-V, I hired a full system for a few weeks and I found the
cymbals and hihats to be a
bit gimmicky (ok for 'I just called to say I love you') pity, everyone's
after them now.

I have user manuals for all of my Simmons gear including  the TMI, I can
make this available for Paul's site if you like ?

James,  your message was a little unclear, were you wanting or offering a
TMI manual ?

Regards
Tom.
