Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi Jesper,
Musicaid company collapsed in nov 1981...
they moved & opened a new company at Abbey Mills in St Albans about april of 1982 ...
I think it was already  Simmons limited...they did produced 10 SDSV a months & had quickly a demand of 400 in the same amount of time.
In the end of 83 they moved to a bigger place in StAlbans park...25000 square feet factory with offices , canteen toilets production lines & workbenches ...
They then built SDS7 & SDS8 ...

hope this helps,
bye & Merry Christmas !
Patrice.

  Hi List!

  When did the Simmons gear stop wearing the logo for music aid and start
  wearing the simmons logo?
  AFAIK the following gear was made with Music Aid logotype:

  SDS-III
  SDS-IV
  Clap Trap (the analogue and first version)

  I have also seen the Music Aid logo on a few SDS-V modules I once owned but
  there cannot be many of those around I guess... My SDS-2 only has the
  Simmons name but since it outdates the company, being a one off by Dave,
  it's not the logo we're used to see...

  electronically yours, jesper
