SD5K drum set

2008-07-07 by mariaandrasik

My name is Maria and I am responsible for the  liturgical music at 
Catholic Church.  Recently, the church received a SD5K drum set as a 
free gift from a young drummer, who was completely discouraged as 
this drum stopped working right in the middle of  the church service. 
He donated this drum to church.  Now,hello! I am not a drummer.  I am 
pianist/organist.  I brought the drum to Guitar Center--they said 
that the "brain" is working.  I do not have a main power supply 
jack.  They said to contact the Simmons on internet to get a new 
one.  So I wet on Simmonsdrum and came accross the warning  message 
from the original Simmons (in England) that  SD5K dig. drum set could 
be made in China (cheaply) not in England....and I should take it 
back to get money back if it is not working.  I am shocked.  What 
should I do.  The drum set is already 2 years old (out of waranty).  
I need to get also a kick trigger, as it is missing from the set and 
an output Jacks to amplifier.  I do not have anybody to work with on 
this issue.  Please advise me.  
Also, is there any difference that I can find on this drum that shows 
that it was made in China; or any marks or signs to signify that was 
made in  England.   
Lost drummer,
Maria
