The pads are Pearl Syncussion SY-1. Available in black or white.

The other two are Pollard Syndrum pads. Since it's two I bet they had a 
Syndrum Twin.

Logical since both this models are US-made and MWH are canadian. Why 
import from the other side of the pond.

BTW - both drum synths are amazing! :D
