Frank Beard began using Syndrum CM pads on the "Expect No Quarter" tour in support of the Degüello album in 1979-80. He initially had of two them, which he would use during the bridge of "Cheap Sunglasses", one for a descending sine-wave sound (typical Syndrum fare) and one for an ascending sine-wave, both ran through a delay effect of some sort. A clear shot of one of the CMs being hit is seen at 1:15 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWPh4ZnZE1I

For the "El Loco-Motion" tour in 1981-82, a third CM pad was added, although it is unclear as to what context this third pad was used. The three-Syndrum setup remained in Beard's kit through the end of the 1983-84 "Eliminator" tour (pictured here in 1984) before being replaced by a single Simmons pad in 1985.
