I just bought yet another set of SDS9 pads off Ebay (That makes a
total of 13 kits now!), as it turns out they were Paul Wheeler's who
was/is the drummer from Icehouse. This exact kit was in a lot of
their video clips plus in the video "Icehouse Live at the Ritz in
NY" back in 86 when it was brand new!
The pads are in pretty good condition considering the ammount of
touring they've done, got them nice and cheap too, only AU$171.00
which included shipping from Brisbane. He also threw in a Pearl DRX-
1 pad and a "Spike" trigger, great deal!
