i don't know much about simmons yet but i have an sds-8 pad and a sds-1000 
module.  the combination seems to work fine if i plug the pad into any of the tom 
ports  but if i plug it into the snare it barely works and if i plug it into the bass it 
doesn't work at all.  can anyone tell me if a specific pad is needed to make the snare 
and bass work or is something not working properly?  please help if you can.

thank you!

It should work - all pads are identical (within usual manufacturers 
tolerances).

Try increasing the sensitivity on the SDS1000 bass and snare inputs - 
that might be the problem. Does the channel LED on the front light up 
when hitting the pad ?

even if i turn the sensitivity all the way up it only
lights up and makes sound if i hit really hard on
snare and not at all on bass. any other ideas?

thanks again.
