Selecting the Drum Kit
The SDRUM offers five drum kits to choose from:
Drum Kit Description
E-POP
This kit is made from synthesized drum sounds that emulate
analogue drum machines.
BRUSH
This is a vintage-sounding kit played with brushes, for jazz and folk
music styles. This kit also includes shaker and tambourine samples.
PERCUSSION
This kit is an augmented clean drum kit with a cowbell, clave,
timbales, and congas. It is designed for latin fusion music styles.
POWER
This is a drum kit designed for hard rock, metal, and punk music
styles, with a more aggressive sound than the clean kit.
CLEAN
This is a clean drum kit, suitable for rock, pop, and country music
styles.
All kits, with the exception of E-Pop, feature multiple velocity layers for all main drums (kick, snare, hi-hats, toms,
cymbals). This means that different samples are used depending on how loud each drum is played, which allows
sampled drums to sound much more realistic. E-Pop is an exception because synthesized drum machines do not
typically alter the tone of a drum based on velocity.
The drum kit can be changed on a single song part or for an entire song.
To change the drum kit on parts:
1. Select the song part using the VERSE, CHORUS, or BRIDGE button.
2. Turn the GROOVE/KIT encoder to select the new drum kit setting.
3. Press the GROOVE/KIT encoder to make the selection. To change the drum kit setting for all song parts,
press and hold the GROOVE/KIT encoder for ~2 seconds (until the selected kit LED flashes three times).
TIP: The drum kit setting can be changed before or after teaching a new pattern.
