This is a forum for users of the original Simmons electronic drums, made in the UK in the 70's, 80's and 90's. It's for sharing information, tips, tricks etc. Since info on Simmons drums is extremely limited, let's make this the most informative place on the Web!

However, this list is _NOT_ for the digital drums named Simmons and marketed in the US by Guitar Center and sold in Europe by Thomann and others. If you own a SDHB2, SD5-K or SD7-K drum set or similar, please read this;

- You've been fooled by Guitar Center who sell cheap China made sets under the Simmons name. They bought the rights for the name but the products they offer have nothing to do with the high-end drum equipment produced during the 70's, 80's and 90's by british firm Simmons.

This mailing list is dedicated to the real thing and noone here is interested in discussing these cheap excuses for drum sets that GC offer. If it doesn't work - please return it to GC and demand your money back. I sure hope your warranty is still valid.

If you're interested in what we talk about and enjoy on this list, feel free to hang around, join in the discussions and learn about the legendary drum systems of the past. -
