Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] SDSV Crosstalk

From: "I. Clark" <perspects@...>
Date: 2007-09-20

I use SDS8 pads with an SDSV brain both on stage and in the studio with none
of the crosstalk/triggering problems you describe.

I obtained my V as a brain only and have never owned V pads (...yet). After
experimenting with all manner of triggers (with varying degrees of success)
I can honestly say the 8 pads gave me the best results (short of owning some
actual V pads, that is).

Hope that helps

Michael,

Will SDS7 or SDS8 pads work with my SDSV module or are they set up just as
my current SDS9 pads are? Thanks again.

Jim

It is a good idea to get the original SDSV pads. Because the surface is
very hard, the trigger pulse has another shape than on rubber pads. So the
click sound of SDSV is much more precise, sharp like a needle. This I found
out more than 20 years ago, when all drummers were crying because of the too
hard pads. Simmons immediately offered flat rubber hexagons to be glued on
top of the pads. But: that changed the sound! The impact was not like
before. From that time on I played these pads only on the rims.
I don't have these pads anymore. But sometimes they are on eBay.
Regards
Michael
