Saw those on Ebay yesterday, you got a pretty good deal in the current market. The musicaid SDSV mysteriously vanished yesterday.... --- On Thu, 12/5/11, p_k_daniels <p_k_daniels@...> wrote:

. Welcome to the sdsv club . It´s a good price nowadays, and red pads with white surface are really cool. Enjoy them ! --- El jue, 12/5/11, p_k_daniels <p_k_daniels@...> escribió: De: p_k_daniels <p_k_daniels@...> Asunto: [Simmons Drums] Finally...my lucky day!

Keep it, and keep it warm! The chances to get one are getting less every day. The price is cool and about the money I spend for my very first SDSV in 2003 --- In Simmons_Drums@yahoogroups.com, "p_k_daniels" <p_k_daniels@...> wrote:

I consider you more and more crazy for each passing day. :) I could've sworn you being a Simmons addict since at least the mid 90's. You sure have bought a lot in just eight years! I think I got my first SDS-V in '98 or '99... -- electronically yours, jesper - -- --- ---- ----- ---- --- -- - www.electronic-obsession.se

I got my first SDSV flyer in 1983 in London at the age of 13. 20 years later, on a toilet somewhere in Cologne in a recording studio reading a vintage Modern Drummer magazine (showing a red Ludwig kit with 2 red/black SDSV pads on the right; if somebody knows the number of that particular issue: Please let me know) I thought it was about time to become an Ebay user. That's the true story but that should also be enough private stories for the moment :-P And no, I don't consider myself being crazy at all. --- In Simmons_Drums@yahoogroups.com, jesper <jesper@...> wrote:

Probably I should mention that I have lost my very first SDSV auction I bid on. Mint, white, beautiful. Some kind of trauma, although afterwards I've heard that at least one pad broke during the delivery from Switzerland to the US --- In Simmons_Drums@yahoogroups.com, jesper <jesper@...> wrote:

Thanks guys, another piece of Simmons history to give a good home too. Im gonna have to get a bigger house;-) or set up a UK version of the simmonsmuseum! im not sure if it has the cables and stands but at that price im not too worried, I can makeup or aquire suitable stands/cables easy enough. Was very surprised at the final price, ive been upping my top bid by £20 every time Ive been outbid, so was pleasently surprised..maybe the world downturn has killed the crazy prices for a while? --- In Simmons_Drums@yahoogroups.com, "p_k_daniels" <p_k_daniels@...> wrote:

I think the sudden flood of SDS-V on Ebay helped out a lot. It's also Vemia-time... People might save up for other goodies. *nudge, nudge* -- electronically yours, jesper - -- --- ---- ----- ---- --- -- - www.electronic-obsession.se
