Let’s Learn About Drums
Drum Set Elements
Here are some basic terms related to drum sets.
Bass drum/Kick Pedal
Played with a kick pedal, it’s the largest drum in the kit.
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.
* The TD-1KV/TD-1K uses a single pad.

Floor tom
Ride
Tom (Tom 1, Tom 2)
These are usually mounted above the bass drum.
Floor tom (Tom 3)
Sometimes called a bass tom, it either stands on it’s own legs or is
mounted on a stand.
Ride cymbal
Usually mounted on the right side of the 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’ll explain how to hold the sticks and use the pedals.
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
Hi-hat pedal (HHC) Kick pedal (KIK)
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.
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.

Let’s Learn About Drums
Using the snare
Head shot
Hit only the head of the pad. This is the most common method to
play the snare.
Head
Rim shot
TD-1KV only
Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously.
A sound (rim sound) dierent than the head shot will be heard.
Suitable position

Using the cymbals
Bow shot
The most common method, playing the middle area of the cymbal.
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. The two cymbals can
be closed together by pressing the pedal.
A variety of playing techniques are possible, such as playing the
cymbals with the pedal and/or playing them with sticks.
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.

Edge shot
Use the shoulder of the stick to hit the edge of the cymbal pad (Hit
the edge sensor as shown in the illustration).
Edge sensor
* Bow shots and edge shots can also be played on the hi-hat.
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.
