SDS-8 - 100-150 GBP... Pads - 100 maybe...

> Does it need to be hooked up to an amp?

Yes! Or headphones...

> Is mix out for a "mono" signal?

Yes!

> It has no cymbals. Was it suppose to?

No, there are no cymbal inputs for the SDS_8. Just the standard five inputs
for the five pads.

> Where they electronic?

The cymbals? Yes, to SDS-5 and 7 etc, but not to the 8. You were supposed to
use the real deal...

> ( I see no input for cymbals).

See above!

electronically yours, jesper
