Played with a kick pedal, it’s the largest drum in the kit.
* Use a commercially available kick pedal.
Snare drum
The snare drum is the main “voice” of a drum kit.
Hi-hat/Hi-hat pedal
An acoustic hi-hat uses 2 cymbals mounted on a hi-hat
stand. Pressing the hi-hat pedal opens and closes it.
* TD-07KV (example) uses a single pad.

Usually mounted on the right side of the drum kit, the ride
cymbal is principle elements in keeping time.
Crash cymbal
Smaller than the ride, the crash cymbal is mainly used for
accents.

The Basics of Playing
Drums are played using both hands and both feet.
Here we explain how to hold the sticks, strike the drums, and use the pedal.
Let’s Learn About Drums
Holding the sticks
The most common way to hold the sticks is called the
“matched grip” as shown in the illustrations below.
Left hand
Right hand
Using the kick pedal
The kick pedal can be pressed in either of two ways: “heel
up” or “heel down.”
Heel up
In this method, your heel oats above the pedal. With your
heel o the pedal, lower your entire foot to push down the
pedal. This method applies the full weight of your leg to the
pedal, making it easier for you to produce a stronger sounds
than the heel down method.
This is often used in rock and pop.
Using the snare
Head shot
Hit only the head of the pad. This is the most common
method to play the snare.
Rim shot
Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously.
A sound (rim sound) dierent than the head shot will be
heard.
Rim
Cross stick
Only strike the rim of the pad.
Velocity switching “snare rim” sound, played softly produces
a cross stick sound, and when played harder, produces a rim
shot sound.
Rim
Heel down
In this method, the entire bottom of your foot from heel to
toe stays in contact with the pedal. Use your ankle joint to
make your toes push down the pedal.
This method allows more precise control of the volume, and
is often used in jazz and bossa nova.
Rim
& When playing cross stick, set XStickSens (p. 19) to anything
other than “OFF.”
* To play the cross stick, be sure that you only strike the rim
of the pad. If you're resting your hand on the head, cross
stick playing technique might not be possible.
* This is eective only for a pad that is connected to the
“SN” connector of the dedicated connection cable.
* On some snare sounds, it might not be possible to play
separate sounds in this way.
3
Let’s Learn About Drums
Using the cymbals
Bow shot
The most common method, playing the middle area of the
cymbal.
Edge shot
Use the shoulder of the stick to hit the edge of the
cymbal pad (Hit the edge sensor position as shown in the
illustration).
Edge sensor
* Bow shots and edge shots can also be played on the
hi-hat.
Using the hi-hat
In an acoustic drum set, the hi-hat consists of two cymbals
placed facing each other vertically on a hi-hat stand. When
you press the pedal, the two cymbals will come together
(closed). When you release the pedal, the two cymbals will
separate (opened).
Closed
With the hi-hat pedal pressed rmly, strike the pad with a
stick. A short “chick” sound will be heard.
Half-open
With the hi-hat pedal pressed gently, strike the pad with a
stick. A slightly longer “swish” sound will be heard.
Open
With the hi-hat pedal completely released, strike the pad
with a stick. An even longer “sound” than the half-open
sound will be heard.
Bell Shot (ride only)
This playing method involves striking the bell of the cymbal.
* Use a pad that supports the ride three-way trigger.
* Set the CR2Usage setting (p. 20) to “RDB.”
* Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of the
stick.
Choking a cymbal
Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal will mute or choke the
sound, just like with a real cymbal.
* The Choke function only works when you grasp in
the area (where the edge sensor is) as shown in the
illustration. If you do otherwise, it will not work.
Edge sensor
Foot closed
Just press the pedal without using a stick. This sound will be
softer and shorter than the closed sound played with a stick.
Useful for keeping time with this tight sound.
Foot splash
Press and immediately release the pedal without using a
stick. This is equivalent to momentarily clashing the two
cymbals of an acoustic hi-hat. It produces a “splash” sound
that is softer than the open strike.

Adjusts the balance (sensitivity) between pad striking strength and volume.
Increasing this value increases the sensitivity, so that even soft strikes on the pad are sounded at
high volume. Decreasing this value decreases the sensitivity, so that even strong strikes on the
pad are sounded at low volume.
Adjusts the minimum sensitivity of the pad.
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is above a determined force
level (velocity). This can be used to prevent a pad from sounding because of vibrations from
other pads.
While striking the pad, gradually raise the threshold value. If a soft strike on the pad fails to
produce sound, slightly lower this value. Repeat this to obtain the ideal setting.
Species the strength of the strike at which the cross-stick sound and the rim shot sound are

Increasing this value causes the cross-stick sound to be heard even for a softer rim shot.
If this is “OFF,” the rim shot sound is heard even when you play a cross-stick strike.

ParameterValueExplanation
Detecting trigger signal attenuation (Retrigger Cancel)
When you strike a snare drum etc. to which a commercially available
drum trigger is attached, there might be cases in which the waveform is
misshapen, causing another trigger to unintendedly occur at point “A” in
the following illustration (retriggering).
This occurs in particular at the decaying edge of the waveform.
Retrigger Cancel detects such distortion in and prevents retriggering
from occurring.
RetrgCancel1–16
While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the “Retrigger Cancel” value until retriggering no longer occurs.
Although setting this to a high value prevents retriggering, it then becomes easy for sounds to be
omitted when the drums played fast (roll etc.). Set this to the lowest value as possible while still
ensuring that there is no retriggering.
MEMO
You can also eliminate this problem of retriggering with the Mask Time setting. Mask Time does not
detect trigger signals if they occur within the specied amount of time after the previous trigger
signal was received. Retrigger Cancel detects the attenuation of the trigger signal level, and triggers
the sound after internally determining which trigger signals were actually generated when the head
was struck, while weeding out the other false trigger signals that need not trigger a sound.
If more than one pad (or acoustic drum to which a drum trigger is attached) is mounted on the same
stand, you can use this setting to prevent the vibrations caused by striking a pad from producing
XtlkCancel1–80
ScanTime0–4.0ms
MaskTime0–64ms
unintentional triggering (crosstalk) for a dierent pad (or drum trigger). For example, if pad B
unintendedly sounds when you strike pad A, increase the XtlkCancel value of pad B until crosstalk no
longer occurs. If this value is raised excessively, the sound of pad B will tend to drop out when pad A and
pad B are struck simultaneously.
Trigger signal detection time (Scan Time)
Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may dier slightly
depending on the characteristics of each pad or acoustic drum trigger
(drum pickup), you may notice that identical hits (velocity) may produce
sound at dierent volumes. If this occurs, you can adjust the “Scan Time” so
that your way of playing can be detected more precisely.
While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant force, gradually raise the
Scan Time value from 0 msec, until the resulting volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At this setting, try
both soft and loud strikes, and make sure that the volume changes appropriately.
* As the value is set higher, the time it takes for the sound to be played increases. Set this to the lowest
value as possible.
Double triggering prevention (Mask Time)
When playing a kick trigger, the beater can bounce back and hit
the head a second time immediately after the intended note—with
acoustic drums sometimes the beater stays against the head—this
causes a single hit to “double trigger” (two sounds instead of one).
The Mask Time setting helps to prevent this. Once a pad has been
hit, any additional trigger signals occurring within the specied
“Mask Time” will be ignored.
Adjust the “Mask Time” value while playing the pad. When using a kick trigger, try to let the beater
bounce back and hit the head very quickly, then raise the “Mask Time” value until there are no more
sounds made by the beater rebound.
Increasing this value makes it more likely that a note played in rapid succession will drop out. Set this to
as low a value as possible.
