SD2000 FUNCTIONALITY - HOW TO PLAY THE KIT
The SD2000 can be played immediately after you start it up, however
there are some functions to be aware of when you want to take full
advantage of it’s functions
SNARE TRIPLE ZONES
The Snare drum has several playable zones or sections where you
can strike it to get multiple sounds like a real drum*. The center of
the drum is set up with sounds that were created when striking a real
snare drum. The rim section to the left is designated to have the rim
shot sound. Similar to when you strike a real snare drum with your
stick on the rim and center of the drum. The rim section on the right is
setup to be cross stick sound. Similar to when a drummer holds down
the stick on the drum head and strikes the rim.
* Please Note: Not all preset Kits have the snare cross stick or tom
rims assigned.
TOM DUAL ZONES
The tom drums all have dual zones. Meaning you can get a different
sound when you strike the center or the rubber rim section. This can
useful for when you want a cowbell sound readily available to play on
the kit.
CRASH DUAL ZONES WITH CHOKE
The crash cymbal inputs are dual zone as well. This means you can
strike the bow of the cymbal pad for one sound and the hit the rim of
the cymbal for another sound. You can stop the sounds from playing
back when you grab the edge of the cymbals to replicate the effect of
choking a cymbal.
RIDE TRIPLE ZONES
The ride cymbal has three separate zones, bow (middle of the cymbal)
bell (center) and edge.
KICK DRUM
The kick drum has only one zone. However there is enough space on
the drum head for you to use a double pedal.
HI HAT PEDAL
The SD2000’s hi hat pedal is multi-positional. Meaning that as you
move your pedal with your foot you can change the hi hat cymbal
sound to be open, semi-open and closed. You can also strike the heel
of the hi hat pedal hard with your foot to emulate the splash sound
you get with an acoustic hi hat pedal.
