of course but they are absorbing the energy by vibrating ...
the sdsv pas is sending you back this energy in the tendons...

I love the way he plays. & this tight energy ...
I spoke to him on his blog, where he told me about these "injuries"
from the Simmons era.
I thought its pads where just used as extras, I didn't imagine they
could hurt him.
But on the Live at Wembley , (of course I'm fan too) we can see him
attacking pads like it would be some normal drumheads...
That's where it's hurting quite badly I guess...
It's so hard to modulate your hit in such a gig...even for a guy
like him with the finest technique...
anyway that's how it is, we won't redo the history...but if I could,
the hexagons would have some mesheads ...or whatever...
But I guess they are so nice these "V's" pads ...
