Paisley e-drum kit from Parade era

Saw it today at Paisley Park. Very very cool!!!!.

.

I always thought it was a Simmons kit, but seeing it upclose the snare and toms are more like diamonds than the typical Simmons drum pads.

.

.

Maybe this was custom? Another drum kit had a few standard Simmons hexagonal heads. Also looks like he has 2 Synndrum triggers here (like Bobby usead to have 2 sets for four in a 2 x 2 pattern).

.

Are you me? Happy memories. Although I was so upset I could only go to 1 show, I got tickets to all shows the year after. 6 Sign Of The Times show in a little over a week. Good times.. (although I liked the '86 shows better)

I guess in any case they were conected to a pearl syncussion module.

Maybe they were modified (looks verry simmons to me)
