I'm not a drummer but a synthesist, but when I do add live drums from
time to time the harder the surface the more annoying it gets since I
play at home and not with a massive side-fill monitor system. That means
that the impact sound is important too. It drowns out the sound of the
monitor and I don't like cranking up the headphones. I hate cymbals for
that reason too. I already have slightly damaged hearing from too many
concerts, so I won't need more uncontrolled noise.

Therefor the bass pad is still around 'cause it's not hit in the same
fashion and it looks cool. :)
But... I can hit the older toms with real skins with all the force I
want without getting annoyed in the same fashion.

I know KW has played a lot of earlier V's with chinese eating sticks
(wasn't it?).
