Hi there Jim,

SDS7 and SDS8 pads will work no problem, both series have resistors 
so you shouldn't have any problems with X-talk or false triggering.

Cheers,

Matt.

the surface is very hard, the trigger pulse has another shape than 
on rubber pads. So the click sound of SDSV is much more precise, 
sharp like a needle. This I found out more than 20 years ago, when 
all drummers were crying because of the too hard pads. Simmons 
immediately offered flat rubber hexagons to be glued on top of the 
pads. But: that changed the sound! The impact was not like before. 
From that time on I played these pads only on the rims.
