Has someone ever got their SDS9 in a rack.  

I was thinking that it would be a great place for these rather then
sitting on a desktop as they take up a bunch of room.

Has anyone out there had rack ears made for theirs?

Cheers
Steve

The problem with many of the desktop Simmons units, as I see it, is that 
they have the inputs on "top" if you rack mount. My rack is filled and close 
to bursting and one reason to get rid of the Tama TS-305 was just that. It 
took up so much rack space. Both my SDS-V and SDS-7 fits in the same number 
of unit spaces and are still patchable on the back. The Tama needed angled 
plugs or yet another rack space to allow patching etc.

My two cents, but I'd rather go with a rack drawer or something. I've seen 
versions of this online. Pull out the unit to allow access. Push it back in 
when you've tweaked enough for the day...

I have a set of original SDS9's I'd like to sell.
I am the original owner, they've basically been
sitting in my closet in a case for years. Drums
are in good shape, I have a rack if needed.
The only glitch in the controller is the bass drum
seems to be stuck on a very fast echo. I've never
had it looked at so it may be fixable. Let me know
if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Rick.

What color are the pads?
