Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi,

here's the results of the Simmons owners inventory... with comments from
yours truly. I decided not to go for a database but to include the
highest and lowest serials known. Brackets indicate model number
included in serial.

SDS-I (prototype) 1
SDS-1 (1)0405-2290
SDS-II (prototype) 1
SDS-III 0098-0160
SDS-IV (4)193
SDS-V (MusicAid) 0002-0078
SDS-V 581-6624
SDS-6 109
SDS-7 (7)0001-2536
SDS-8 (8)0362-4133
SDS-9 208-3928 (7090?) (misread 1 for a 7?)
SDS-200 2809
SDS-400 1143
SDS-800 1420-2347
SDS-1000 (M)4025-7898
SDS-2000 397-734
SDX 19-170
MTX-9 0523-2159
Trixer 1464
TMI 1029
MTM 114-846
ADT 370
EPB 665-880
SPM 8:2 771-2640
SDE 3085
Portakit 197
Silicon Multimallet 366
ClapTrap (mk1) 007-384
ClapTrap (mk2) 713
ClapTrap (mk3)

So, a few of my guesses was way off it seems. But some quite good.
SDS-III and SDS-IV were not as rare as expected but I guess we can
assume many are lost today.

Cool to see the second SDS-V and the first SDS-7 ever on the list!

Very few SDS-6 out there. WT, we need your digits too...

EPB's have a suspiciously narrow span. Anything lower available?

ClapTrap mk2 has a typewriter typed label below. Same as early wooden
pads and it's hard to read but I'm quite positive it's 713.

Keep'em coming and I'll update the list...

Ok, here are my numbers:
Musicaid Claptrap Mk1 : 265SDS-V : 1805SDS-IV : (4)174
btw I could possibly see myself selling the SDS-IV (with wooden pads) if someone is interested. I�m located in Sweden.

Hi Jesper,

Hi,

The list? We were only listing the span of known numbers. So that's just
a list of confirmed numbers (assuming none were skipped in the series).

Hi Jesper,

Hi,

I think they made 100 under the MusicAid logo... Wolfgang probably knows
best (and owns a couple of these).

And I think (again) that you need to modify either pads or SDS-V.Pads I
think... Have you searched the archives for info? Otherwise I know
Wolfgang to be your man here as well. :)
