Isn't that one of the newest generation cymbal pads? Not sure, but...

It's another Symbal pad with textured surface. It's the light that
makes it look a bit different in that shot. If you click the "More
Photos" link, check the "back view" photo and you can see it better.

Hi Jym , 
we didn't speak for a long time together ...
You've got very nice photos of your SDX set !
I see you tryed to set it up like Bill it seems nice to play it that way ...
Are you really selling it ? 
Why ? 
if you weren't in Us I would buy it , but the shipping will be more expensive than the set ...
the rubber Snare pad seems having suffered from all these years playing ...

Anyway, Have a nice day .
Patrice.

  It's a Symbal pad, same as the one on the right. They both have the
  textured surface. The one on the left looks a bit different because of
  the light.

Hi, Patrice.

Yes, long time, no chat. Yep, I set the kit up like Bill's arrangement
and have had it that way for years. Very versatile. I generaly put
congas and other samples on the left two tom pads, various other toms
on the others. On the Symbals I use shakers and a gong or bells.

Yes, the snare pad's gum rubber is showing some wear, but it still
plays fine. I'm going to move the mounting arm from left to right so
another area of the pad will be played more to even out wear. Of
course, the rim's active on the three sides opposite the mount, so
that will work fine.

I'm thinking of selling because I'm having back surgery soon and may
be out of commission for a while. So, it just seems like a good time
to simplify my life a bit. 

Also, guest players have no idea how to use the SDX, and I just as
soon they didn't anyway. Sadly, most young drummers have no sense of
etiquette. One particular character sat down behind the SDX, then
started yanking on the pads and arms, trying to force them into
another position; then he wanted to move all my cymbals around. I
gritted my teeth and set up a small acoustic kit for him. And after
all that trouble, he was a lousy musician.

Drum sets are like a golf course, you play it as it lays. Don't like
my kit? Then don't fiddle around with it, Chuck. At least, that's the
way I learned (I'm 51). Whenever I'm going to sit in somewhere, I take
my own sticks and snare and don't mess with the other guy's placement.

So, there's the long story. Good to hear from you.
