Re: [Simmons Drums] sds 9 not working

It could be a battery but that just stores patches AFAIK. Sometimes soldering points gets dry and powering up after many years may crack them altogether... My OSCar wasn't nice before I fixed such problems... Start with the battery and the fuse and then dug deeper if it still isn't its true self... Good luck! electronically yours, jesper ----- Original Message -----
