pads, cymbal pads and kick pad. The pin connection will attach to the serial
port of the sound module. (See illustration.)
Note: The voice of the hi-hat pad is controlled by the hi-hat pedal. Similar to
a real drum kit, the hi-hat pad functions as an ‘open hi-hat’ when the pedal is
released. When the pedal is pressed down, it functions as a ‘closed hi-hat’.
Note: The striking area of cymbal pad (ride, crash or hi-hat) is near the edge
of the pad. One of the cymbal pads has a choke function (indicated by raised
pattern at cymbal edge.) Grab this area to stop cymbal from sounding.
