Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi everyone!

Just thought I'd post & let everyone know I am SADLY parting with 
some of my Simmons Electric Drum Equipment.  The 2 SDS1's are 
ALREADY on EBAY AUCTIONS...the rest I have yet to put on there...

I am parting with 2 SDS1's...1 Elec. Tom & 1 Elec. Snare chips in 
them...and they are in MINT condition...even have NEW power supplies 
& MANUALS with them!  1 is Serial # 1830, which is fairly low!

I am also parting with 3 (yes, three!) separate drum kits...1 kit is 
in Red, 1 kit is in White, and 1 kit is in Black!  They come with 1 
kick/bass drum pad, and 2 tom/snare pads...ALL in good, WORKING 
condition!  (The black ones have been recently re-painted with 
automotive grade gloss black paint!)

I am also parting with an SDS8 drum brain, and possibly an SDS1000 
drum brain, as well as an MTX9 Drum Expander & an SDE Expander...and 
maybe even my SDS800 brain.  I also might sell an SPM 8:2 Mixer.  
All that will be in the second set of auctions, though...unless 
someone wants to make me an offer?!?!?!?!?!?

Email me:  HotRodB70@...

AND THE BIG QUESTION I KNOW YOU ALL ARE ASKING:  WHY AM I SELLING 
ALL THIS?????!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well, my studio looks like a damn museum, and NOT a working studio 
anymore...and since I got a ROLAND Studio V-Drum set, I haven't even 
looked at my Simmons stuff, except for using a few of the pads on my 
live drum kit (using an Alesis DM Pro Brain for those, 
nonetheless).  I am SADLY parting with these, as it has ALL served 
me well for MANY years.  And hopefully, someone else for MANY MORE 
years to come!

Thanks for reading all this, I won't bore you anymore!

I changed the battery in my SDS7 not long after I got it, about five 
years ago.  I used the backup battery from an old Mac Plus I had kicking 
about, just soldered leads to it and hot-melt glued it onto the board.

Still seems fine.  I must get round to making some pads for it - I made 
one pad and a bass drum trigger, for which I bought a pedal.  What I 
need now is a copy of the owner's manual, and a readable copy of the 
workshop manual.

If anyone can tell me how to get the Jigsaw mode working, I'd love to know.

Gordon.

No, sorry, no yellow ones...  :(

BUT, what I CAN do is PAINT them BRIGHT YELLOW, and charge ya' some
expensive price, though?!?!?!?!?!?

I'll even throw in a fake autograph of Bill Bruford on each pad!!!!

LOL!!!!

By the way: I remember when I visited a Johnny Cash concert in
Rotterdam in the late eighties. I asked his drummer W.S. Holland (he
should have been at least 60 years old at that time) for an autograph
on a white (not yellow) SDS9 pad. Finally he signed, but he made a
face like being attacked by an alien ;-)

Bill Bruford?  But I can barely master paradiddles, never mind stuff in 
27/36 triplets...
