hey guys,
thanks for your new videos. I've added them into the database now and
we got almost 50! Great effort. I'm sure the're still more to come. 
Here is a particular one that I would like the experts to analyze:

To me it seems like a sds-3 unit is standing right next to the
drummer, but the pads don't seem to be the original ones. But after
all this is only semi-live. Can anybody confirm this?

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

...and now I even see the Pollard (though a Syndrum Quad (like mine :D 
)) just beside Ivan's guitar!
