Simmons SDSV SDS5 & 5 pc PAD SET, analogue, 80's classic electronic drum kit

  
Due to the age and fragile nature of this item collection in person is recommended. Here we have a very collectable and well respected classic analog drum unit and 5 pads [no stands or cables are included].... The bass drum legs/ spurs are included.

SIMMONS SDSV [SDS5] DRUM MODULE , BASS, SNARE, TOM, TOM, TOM = 5 piece standard kit... Plus 5 original SDSV pads. Very desirable pads in the incredibly rare blue to black fade..

Visually stunning and the shells themselves and aluminium trim / rim are very tidy. Details: the unit powers up and each module creates sound except for the first'tom' module which lights up and shows triggers on it's LED but is silent... Possibly a bad contact on the connectors on the rear of each card module. It takes some time for the square black switches, which are used to select patches, to become active...

The switches do work but it takes quite some time for them become active, some work sooner than others. I'm not sure why this is and would recommend a full service by a qualified technician. The rotary knobs all seem to work.

There is no handle on the side of the box. There are 4 chunky rubber feet added to the underside of the unit to help resist vibration. Details : the rare blue / black fade shells are in very nice condition. The playing surfaces are seriously worn from use and some are cracked. This is a relatively easy fix if you have the ability to cut ABS plastic to size / remove the existing plastic and replace the playing surfaces... The pads should then give many years of service. You will need to source the ABS plastic of course. The Bass drum pad has some of the impact area plastic missing... The shell is in very nice condition and the legs / spurs are included.

Any faults are mentioned above. What we have here is a classic instrument in need of some TLC but once sorted it will only grow in value IMO. No stands or cables are included.
