Make sure that the drumstick is parallel to the pad surface when striking the pad. The
edge sensor switch on the cymbal pad may not react properly when the pad is struck
completely from the side.
Striking the bell (cup) produces a bell shot sound.
Grabbing the front side on the outer edge of a cymbal pad immediately after striking it
will mute the sound being produced.
