The SDS-7 came with the new rubber heads and XLR connectors, like the
SDS-V. I've had some SDS-7 pads since 1986 and never wore them out,
but I take care of my stuff pretty well. Based on how the pads are
built, you could replace the covering material yourself if found a
suitable replacement. Best would be find more pads.
<<<<<<<<<<<Remember there was 2 generation of PAds for SDS7....It's not the same rubber ...
& also for the SDSV ...
Simmons later issued 1/4" plugs on the pads for the SDS-9 and all
those other models. Don't know if there was a big reason other than
the cables were cheaper.
<<<<<<<& professional reliability I suppose , like DDrum acoustic trigger ....
Sadly, the ZI pads work only with the SDX and nothing else. They don't
have Piezo sensors, but use a force-sensitive resistor sheet, similar
to the technology for touch screens. The company that made the FSR
sheets no longer has the templates, everything was returned to Simmons
long ago. Extras were eventually consigned to landfill. Sad.
<<<<<<<<<<Except the Bass Drum & the rim of Snare pads ...they are piezo !
as the input on the SDX recognise piezo at least on the BD voice input & iput 3 I think...
> 5. can u use DW kick pedals with Simmons Kick pads?
Sure, you can whack 'em with pretty much anything.
<<<<<<<UNIVERSAL PADS !!!
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Anyway every pads of the planet are using the same piezos (ddrum, yamaha, roland etc...), except the SDX & KAT FSR PADS ...
& maybe the actual Roland pads...
hope that helps ,
Patrice.
