Anyone with an SDS 3 or SDS 4...

Anyone with an SDS 3 or SDS 4...

2012-01-29 by philmurr

Don't all shout at once :) Would anyone with an SDS3 or 4 be able to send me a photo of the inside of the pads ? I've got a set of pads but the previous owner has removed the speaker triggers and was using them as tom-toms :( I want to restore them to their former glory.

Thanks, Phil.

What a moron that former owner... :(

I restored my SDS-III pads since it's former owner had "SDS-V'd" them
with piezos and plexiglass heads, but that was reversable and I'm very
grateful for having the chance to buy them. :D

Unless anyone else is up for it, I can take the SDS-IV I have for sale
apart for a shot.

Well I shouldn't complain, they only cost me £20 for 2 sets of 2 pads :)

If you could get a photo that would be great.

Phil.
