Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi List!

My ex-Ultravox piece arrived today. Good packing and OK but gigged condition 
with 8 cards inside. According to Tony Holmes (the seller and also live 
drummer of 90's Ultravox) it's equipped with octaban samples all over. The 
labels says 2x bass, 2x snare and the rest toms. Are the cards any different 
except for the proms?

On the bottom it's autographed by someone in 1987 and also marked 
"alternative radio" with a flash through the name. The auto looks like A.C. 
Jen..... with the dotted line indicating stuff hard to interpret. DOes this 
ring a bell to anyone of you who knows all the Simmons drummers of the 80's 
by heart?

Also, if someone is awake to give me the pin config of the XLR outs I'd 
appreciate it.

electronically yours, jesper

Do you mean the autograph or the SDS-7? SDS-7 is pictured elsewhere on the 
net but I just took a few shots of the auto so I'll get to that later...

And if you mean "assembled" as in complete kit I cannot, my set is in one 
part af the studio and the SDS-7 in the other + I will mainly use it from a 
sequencer anyway...

With it came a bunch of photocopies too. If I find anything out of the 
ordinary there I'll report on that too...

Update regarding the photocopies;

Mainly copies from "the simmons drum book" (50 pages or so), some articles 
or product sheets on SDX and SDS-1, copies of "Creative use of your SDS-7" 
(of which I own the original already) and something called "Creative Use Of 
Your SDS-7 - Rev issue 2, august '96". It's apparently made by "Soundunit 
Ltd (Simmons)" (written like that)
