FUNCTIONS
SELECTING A DRUM KIT
After powering up, the digital drum will be in KIT menu (KIT indicator ON ). The
display should look like this:
1. Use the [–] and [+] buttons to select the active kit.
2. Pressing the Pad Select buttons allows you to preview the current kit
(fixed velocity).
3. Hit the pads to play the current kit.
PLAYING THE PADS
Similar to an acoustic drum kit, the digital drum responds differently to various
playing techniques and dynamics. All the pads are velocity sensitive. And some
voices change timbre depending on the striking force.
Drum Pad Head or Rim shot
The digital drum pad detects head and rim shots (rim shots trigger the rim voice).
Cymbal Bow shot and Choke
The digital drum cymbals detect bow shot.
Only the Crash cymbals have cymbal choke. Choking the Crash’s edge with the
hand immediately after hitting the crash mutes the crash sound.
Hi-Hat
The Hi-Hat sound varies depending on the position of the Hi-Hat pedal:
Open Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-Hat pad without pressing the pedal.
Half-Open Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal pressed halfway down.
Closed Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal pressed completely down.
Pedal Close: Press the pedal completely down without striking the pad.
Splash: Press the pedal completely down and release it immediately.
ADJUSTING PAD SENSITIVITY
You may wish to adjust the sensitivity of the pads according to your playing style and
desired dynamic range.
1. Press the [UTILITY] button. The UTILITY indicator appears.
2. Strike a pad or press a pad select button to select the one whose sensitivity is to
be adjusted. The PAD indicator shows the current selected pad.
3. Press the [–] or [+] button to adjust the sensitivity.
4. Press the [SAVE] button to save the current setting.
