Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

OOOh Yes !!! ..........................they were very very expensive...
for Example SDS7's brain  (5 modules in it ) about £2500 ...(I mean the equivalent in  France...)
about the Same for the SDSV ... (I think £3000 for the 5 pieces kit)

The SDX !!!!!!!!!!!!  £ 5000  !!   the standard console without all the memory  etc...
full option was then about £8000...   
In France, I've heard that it went up to £12 000  !!!!!!!!!????????

that's why I started to buy Simons when I saw them cheap in the nineties... 

HOpe that helps ,
bye.

  Hello Folks,

  Would anyone happen to know what any of the models of Simmons drums 
  cost when they first came out back in the 80's? A friend of mine who 
  has a kit vaguely remembers his parents getting him two pads and an 
  SDS5 brain for about 2 grand US, but he's not sure since he didn't 
  personally make the purchase. Were they really expensive back then?

  Thanks.

  Mike
