REcently purchased an SDS9 brain and also a few SDS9 pads seperately. 
How do I get the snare/rim to trigger from the same pad? Did Simmons 
have a special "dual zone" type of pad made for this function? 

regards,
Jim

Since you have purchased the brain and the pads
Perhaps there is a pad with a stereo connector, thus suited for the purpose
so carefully open the pads, and find out??

good luck
Berk

The SDS9 came with a special stereo pad with an extra rim trigger and
a stereo jack. The stereo pad can be easily identified by the grey
colored "o" in "Simmons" on the ruber surface. If you don't have any
pad with a grey "o", you don't have a snare pad.

My SDS9 kit had no identifiable snare (no pad with a grey "o"). I 
only knew which was the snare after opening the pads for restoration, 
externally it's identical to the toms. The piezo for the rim was 
broken anyway, aparently by an abusive previous owner, but since I 
use it with an SDS8 brain it's no problem but easily fixable if 
required :-) I stuck a little "S" sticker next to the jack input so I 
could tell which pad was which.

Cheers,
Ken.

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and i've also Just bought an SDS9 and pads. I had the same head 
scratching moment, as externally the pads look identical, so i reasoned I was missing a 
snare pad, so i peeked inside and spotted some extra wiring. I've yet to hook up the full 
rig, though i've tested the brain, and apart from a few electronic niggles and noisy pots it 
works. I'm assured the pads trigger ok. On the outside it looks a little shabby though with 
all the discolouration of off white.beige plastic, I was thinking about re-spraying, so i'd 
appreciate it if anyone had any comments on this. I intend to restore 'her' to former electro 
glories.
