CURVED AIR Simmons SDS8 Drum Kit (This is a lot of kit. Not flimsy like today's output, but a very solid six piece hexa-pad electronic drum kit, complete with module/mixer and very heavy duty aluminium metal stands & rack. The hexa-pads include a bass drum, three toms, a snare & a spare. Each can be configured through the module/mixer with parameters for volume, pan, click, balance, decay, bend, pitch, filter and sensitivity, as well as sequencer triggering. This kit is supplied with XLR cannon jack leads for connection to the module & sufficient mounting units to set the toms and snare hexa-pads up on the mounting rack as you'd prefer them. For one of those classic eighties drum sounds, this unit is hard to beat [not literally, of course, as it's designed to be beaten!]. This particular kit comes directly from Curved Air drummer Florian Pilkington-Miksa as a genuine piece of Rock History. The kit has been AUTOGRAPHED by him, both on the back of the module and on one leg of the support rack. If you want to know what it sounds like, it was used on the Curved Air 1990 Alive Album as well as on Francis Monkman's 'Jam' CD. Not only that, but this kit also comes with a letter of provenance from Florian as previous [and only] owner. Condition wise, it's used but well kept and not battered about. It is untested but is believed to still be fully functional. There are a few strips of omnipresent Gaffa that let you know that this kit has been owned by someone who could use it. Rome had its water systems. Musicians have Gaffa. That's just the way it is. No Gaffa anywhere and you would doubt its history. There is no doubt about this. A superb vintage musical instrument and a classic sound of the eighties, directly from the drummer of Curved Air to you!)

Complete with hand written letter of provenance from Florian Pilkington-Miksa.
