How to Play a Rim Shot and Cymbal Choke with a PD-8
If a PD-8 is connected, you will be able to use Rim Shot and Cymbal Choke playing technique.
Normal shot: Strike only the head (center)
Rim shot: Strike both the head and the rim (perimeter) simultaneously.
By playing Rim Shot, you can play two types of sound from one pad. This can be done with a PD-8.
Rim Shot
Cymbal Choke
MEMO
At the time the unit was shipped from the factory, the Snare Drum Rim Shot Instrument was set to
Patch 1 Trigger Input 2; conrm this by actually striking the pad.
MEMO
With the SPD-20X, you can choose two separate MIDI sound modules for a dual trigger pad, i.e. send
the “head only” to MIDI channel 10, and the “rim” to MIDI channel 11. This allows you to control
instruments from two MIDI systems with one PD-8.
When playing rim shots, striking only the rim does not produce a solid rim shot sound. Be sure
to strike both the head and rim at the same time. With rim shots how hard the drum is struck is
detected in the head portion.
NOTE
With PD-8, physically grasping the rim of the pad just after the pad is struck stops the sound as
it is made. Before using cymbal choke function on PD-8, please set its TRIG TYPE as CY-5 or CY-8.
This allows you to make the same sound you get when you stop the cymbal or other instrument
from sounding with your hand just after striking it.
