Talk:Simmons Drums

"Simmons has recently re-joined the market with a new entry level electronic drum kit, the SD5K."

According to someone claiming to be Dave Simmons at the Simmons_Yahoo group:

You have probably seen the SD5K kit from Guitar Centre in the USA? Here's the link: http://www.simmonsdrums.net/sd5k/ Well, this was as much a shock to me as it is for everyone else interested in electronic drums. I have not sold or authorised the use of the Simmons name or logo on anything, let alone that cheap Medeli kit from China. Guitar centre have stolen the name to give the kit an instant visibility in the market place.

This has really upset me, and I have instructed lawyers to take legal action against Guitar Centre. Please can you pass it around the Simmons forums and various websites that this kit is nothing to do with me. I would hate to think of Simmons fans looking at the kit, or even buying it on the basis that it might be something different or special. It is a bog standard Chinese kit that is being manufactured and badged under all sorts of names.

Best regards,

Dave
