  By the way: Does anybody know with which brain(-s) the Hexahead pads
  have been delivered with or were they some kind of stand alone products?

  Just some extra infos added to Jym's answer
  > 1.  which models started using the rubber heads that are more
  comfortable to play?  are 
  > the heads replaceable?
  The first of two generations of rubber pads was introduced with the
  SDS7 in 1984. These pads featured non flexible rubber heads, XLR plugs
  and the screws on the shell side, custom colors available like blue
  burst (the one on Ebay last week was far to cheap :-( )

  The second generation came with the SDS9/1000/2000/200/400/800/MTX9,
  featured 1/4" plugs for those series, "swimming heads", changable
  backside shells, attachement screw inside the rubber head. These pads
  were part of the SDS7 also from that time on (I guess 1986), the only
  difference where the XLR plugs instead of jacks. Available colors were
  the standard colors you already mentioned.

  As already mentioned: The XLR pads have been delivered exclusively
  with the SDS7 which has always featured XLR plugs on the brain side
  also. Technically (talking about the second rubber headed generation)
  they are identical

  no

  what kind of outputs do

  stereo 1/4" jack for toms and some kind of 4 pin XLR for dual trigger
  snare pad

  No, they only take British Premier pedals (harhar, joking..., my Tama
  pedal works also)
