Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] SDSV Mesh Head Pads

From: "rolandbrenner@..." <rolandbrenner@...>

I'ts always been a wonder to me that other drummers complained about the SDSV pads being uncomfortable considering they are hitting things equally as hard ( cymbals, cowbells, rims, woodblocks, Ice bells, etc. etc. etc. ). Buddy Rich used to play his hardware as part of his solos ! I guess I understand if it's in the case of a snare, but that's about it. Then the opposite was invented by Roland ( i.e. Tennis rackets ). I personally think the feel of the tennis racket pads are worse, but their module sounds have always been awesome. MHO
- Roland
PS - The Tama Techstars or Spacemuffin pads are probably the best if you need the exact feel of an acoustic since that's pretty much what they are !! ( again, MHO ).
