At 4:06 into the video Palace's Matt Hodges - GEAR MASTERS Ep. 464, Matt Hodges talks about his Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad, which accompanies his drum kit:

For electronics, I've got an SPD here, but I really just use it for triggering a couple songs in the set. We've got some atmospheric noises, so I trigger those in a song and play with the metronome to make sure they come in at the right points. I don’t use the pads for any drum sounds - it's purely for triggering noises in a couple of songs. The way it's set up, I have two WAV files: one for the metronome and one for the music. They're both triggered to start at the same time when I hit one of the pads. So I don’t use the metronome built-into the SPD and I don't have it coming from front of house - I trigger it here, the WAVs are saved onto here so they trigger at the same time.
