This looks like a hex pad out of the legendary simmons suitcase. That was a 5 piece kit in the size and look of a suitcase. On the back there were XKR connectors and you could fire a SDS 5. Saga's Drummer Steve Negusplayed SDS V pads and Singer Michael Sadler played a solo on a Simmons Suitcase! Good old and funny times!

If you look for any of New Order's videos from the mid 80s, you can also see bassist Peter Hook using one for percussion hits. I know I've seen a Simmons Suitcase on the video for "Perfect Kiss" (look for the "10 minute version" on here) as well as the live BBC radio performance of "Blue Monday" uploaded by adz1962.

The pads were probably available as repair parts back in the day.

Can you give me a tip on what kind of sensors are in the hexagons? I opened mine up so that I could build myself some pads... But the sensor doesn't have any part numbers on it... And I have no idea what I'm looking for ;)

The sensor which is used for this pad is Piezo Electric Sounder. In addition, it can substitute even with the speaker.

[Daveyeee]

im confused, what was that?

[ChomuSclavus]

You use the inch? I thought it was centimeters where you are.

[denha]

The centimeter is used in usual life. When PCB is designed, the inch is used.
