Yes it works like pads when you are hitting pads. In the studio clips he used the drumpads from the simmons drums.

That thing is hooked to a pair of Electronic Drum Pads, I know the pads are Simmon Drum Pads.

No the simmons drumpads were connected to this machine in his studio almost 10 years before the picture was taken. For the performances, some other customized trigger pads or bends were used.
