eDRUMin with Simmons 80s SDS era pads?

[cdodkin]

Has anyone had their 80s Simmons SDS era pads working with the eDRUMin?

I have a set of Simmons SDS8 pads heading my way, and would like to use them to control drum plugins in Logic Pro.

Would be a great solution if eDRUMin can accept the SDS pads as a suitable trigger

Any help much appreciated - did a search but didn't see anything that answered the question specifically - Thx.

I believe the Simmons were triggered via piezo, if so, eDRUMin will recognize the signal.

Send a pad to Rob and he'll come up with a preset!

You might suspect that the foam on an 80's trigger might have dried up a bit and have some crumbling. So maybe take a look and update (replace) the foam. You can always test them first before bothering with this step so you're not replacing foam on a broken trigger and replace the piezo or trigger instead.
Otherwise, if it's just yer basic piezo trigger, seems like it ought to work.

Well I should know next week - Pads and eDRUMin units are inbound!

No foam issues with 80s Simmons Pads - the piezo was glued directly to a plywood panel inside the drum shell.

Things are coming together nicely!
