Hi, Jesper.

Well, with no MIDI it was kind of just in the way.
"please let me know how that open/closed works. Same wiring as the
other?"
I have the center of the stereo pad trigger the closed hi-hat and the
edge trigger the open hi-hat. It works fairly well once the
sensitivity is adjusted properly. I use a Roland R8M for most of my
drum sounds and you can set the open hi-hat sound to shut off when you
trigger the closed sound to emulate a real hi-hat. The pedal of the
hi-hat is usually triggered by one of the DW pedal triggers, unless I
use it as a second kick. The snare/rim is a little more problematic,
since, of course, we would naturally hit the snare drum a bit harder.
I very often get ghost triggers from the rim sound that have to be
erased on the MIDI tracks.
"Have you still got the harder surfaced pads around? For sale? I want
the original ones. I have a genuine bass pad, but my other pads are the
SDS-8 ones."
I use the pads, I just replaced the tops. Simmons made inserts of the
soft surfaces to replace the hard ones. I still have the hexagonal
hard surface layers, but I don't know what good they would be to
anyone. The old kick still has the hard surface, I don't think they
ever made a replacement for that one.
