Simmons SDS8 Colours?

Simmons SDS8 Colours?

2009-07-23 by milosakhamun

I own a set of sds8 pads which are black in colour.  I want to paint them white, but I am wondering if this will devalue the pads? especially as they have the original stickers in place.  
Was the black kit a common one?  What colours are rare?

The SDS8 pads had been produced in black, white, red and blue. Black, white and red are pretty common colors while bllue is a rare one. If you paint them they will definetely loose value, on the other hand they are not the most valuable pads even in good condition

Hi Matt,
are you sure also the SDS8 pads appeared in yellow? Not only the MarkIII (SDS9 etc...)?

I guess you are right, Matt. At least the catalogue says "5 colors"

Hi guys

Yes, they DID come in Yellow!!

I owned a set of them here in New Zealand, bought them brand new from the NZ dealer, ex-Split Enz musician Paul Crowther.  Sold them in the early 90's.   Tried tracking them down last year, but no luck... :(

cheers all,

Gwyn,
