Performing
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. There are 45 kits in the digital drum:
30 preset kits (Kits 01-30)
15 user kits (Kits 31-45), the parameter display area will
display as "U31~U45", with an additional letter "U".
2.Pressing the Pad Select buttons allows you to preview the current kit (fixed velocity).
3.Hit the pads to play the current kit.
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 Rim shot
The digital drum cymbals detect bow and rim shot.
Both Ride and Crash cymbals have cymbal choke. But hi-hat does not have the cymbal choke. Choking the crash/ride edge with the hand immediately after hitting the crash/ride mutes the crash/ride sound.
Hi-Hat
The Hi-Hat sound varies depending on the position of the Hi-Hat pedal:
Open Hi-Hat:
Half-Open Hi-Hat:
Closed Hi-Hat:
Pedal Close:
Splash:
