Re: [Simmons Drums] Re: SDS8 pads - triggering problems

2012-05-25 by Nick Zampiello

i always kind of assumed all the pads were ' the same ' inside as far as the piezo thingy goes...

i have some SDS800 pads that trigger it, an SDS1000 and an SDSV just about the same...

did the innards change a lot over time? is it an XLR / 1/4" issue some how?

Well, thanks for the answers.
I've tried to trigger a Simmons SDS 1000, a Pearl DrumX and an Alesis DM 5. Always the same result: weak trigger signal. With other pads (SDS9 Pads, Pearl DrumX, and Roland PD-31) it doesn't happens, there is a stronger trigger signal.
