Hola !
 
For those lucky few who happen to own one, I just completed the first retrofit in replacing the snare head ( see attach ). It's a perfect solution if your pads happen to be damaged or dry-rotted. It's also a nice thing to do if you want to ( like me ) preserve the original surfaces but still play the shit out of the rig. I may put together a method sheet eventually after I'm done with all of them.
 
Also, anyone have any dead SDX pads they would be willing to part with ? Lookng for more to restore....
 
Thanks !

but that's not exactly helping in your case ... ;- )

How does the FSR respond after all that ?

I would nearly prefer to put some ZI pads surfaces on my other Simmons  
pads...
I personnaly  prefer the design...
but that's only my personnal tastes.

As they say in your country: " No deeeffferance' " 
Trying to keep it real, I went with a floating type setup. Being a hard-hitter, I wanted to have some give, but not too much ( like a natural head, yet not nearly as much as the meshy tennis rackets ). If you have dry-rotted pads, you will notice a huge improvement in all areas especially dynamics.
I'll get to writing the white paper as soon as I'm done with all of them. PRIORITIES !!!
Thanks for the offer of the symbal material. If you dig them up, I'm sure someone out there would be interested. I wouldn't mind having a few complete symbal pads though.....
