It has little to do with the angle of the drum ,
its the vibrating shock which the surface of the drums sends back into your stick through to your wrist which cannot be absorbed aswell when
playing stroke rolls single strokes ,
I remember reading somewhere this was often the case for meny drummers ,
including bill bruford !
on top of that the feel isn't too great , neither are the loud chick sounds ,
I wonder why i bought these drums in the first place ? =p
Thank you for the link Roland !
unfortunately shipping from amerika isn't too great...
hope to bump into this kit one day = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQOJny6oy7A&feature=related =p

Here's some that are pretty much what you are looking for. Plus you still get the nostalgic look of the v's:

Regading the sore bones, you may want to try adjusting the angle in which you strike the drum. If you're wrist is at an angle when hitting them, you will experience much more fatigue. Try "flattening" out the angle of the drum for a more natural and ergonomic feel. May not look as cool from the audience, but your wrists will thank you...

The Reason i chose sds7 is pure nostalgia and name ,
I am aware that sds7 pads aren't among the greatest but to me as long
as they are in very good shape both rubber and exterior , i wouldn't mind .
The bloody sdsv's are killing my wrists and technique.
Thank you for your info nevertheless ,
