Best Answer

You hit the pad and the electronics sense the impact, usually with an impact force sensor for different volumes, and the signal is sent to the soundboard via wire. On the soundboard there are multiple plug inputs. One for snare, bass drum, cymbols, etc. The "drum" itself doesn't make the noise but rather the input. You could plug a cymbol into the snare input and you would still get a snare sound. The soundboard just senses the initial impact and amplifies it as a drum piece.
