Simmons SDX electronic drum synth / brain

Interesting regarding weight below.

"doesn't get much rarer than this-

or much cooler to look at

Comes with internal drive, plus discs, as shown

Great condition and working.

This thing weighs a ton - it might have to go on a pallet (so delivery cost is high). It would fall out the bottom of even the strongest cardboard box. So collection recommended."

Nothing excellent in terms of music, but decided to record it anyway."
