How to Play with Songs
《
Introduction
There are many different musical genres and rhythm styles throughout the world. We have
selected ten songs for the DTX 402 Series from mainstream genres and techniques to
help hone your drumming skills. Even beginning drummers will easily be able to build their
chops by following along with the sequence charts presented below. Those able to read
music are welcome to try out each song using the drum score as well. Scores with "Lesson
(number)" written on them for songs in each genre are compatible with the "Song part
gate" practice parts in training mode. For details, see the owner's manual for the DTX402
Series. Additionally, you can use "DTX402 Touch," a dedicated iOS/Android application for
the DTX402 Series, to view example videos of performances by the authors.

How to Read the Sequence Chart
Numbering
The notes that form the basis of a rhythm pattern or fill are assigned to a series of
numbers that varies depending on the feel or groove.
Count
The count of the beats within one bar within 4/4 time. The numbers displayed in red in
this row follow quarter note timing (starting on the downbeat). It is important to count
out the time aloud.
The standard method of practice is to sound out "1e&a 2e&a" like "one eee and
aah two eee and aah" and so on.
