IMPORTANT NOTES
Playing the PD-105/PD-85
Head Shot
Head
To play the sound assigned to the head, hit only the head.
To play a rim shot, you must strike both the head and the
rim of the pad simultaneously.
• If hitting the head produces a rim sound instead, reduce
the RimShot Adjust value on the TD-12.
• On the other hand, if you find it difficult to get rim shot
sounds to play, raise the RimShot Adjust value.
For details, refer to the TD-12 Owner's Manual (p. 51).
Cross Stick
The cross stick sound is sometimes referred to as a "closed rim
shot."
When you perform a cross stick, the rim instrument is played.
When using the PD-105/85 to play the cross stick, be sure that
you only strike the rim (outer edge) of the pad. Placing
your hand on the head (center area) of the pad might prevent
the cross stick sound from being played properly.
Brush Sweep
You can express a sweep sound using brushes (brush sweeps).
* When using brushes, be sure to use nylon brushes.
Cross Stick and Brush Sweep can be used only on the
trigger input 2 (SNARE).

Playing the CY-12R/C
Bow Shot
This is the most common playing method, playing the pad
face of the cymbal. It corresponds to the sound of the "head-
side" of the connected trigger input.
Edge Shot
This playing method involves striking the edge with the
shoulder of the stick. It corresponds to the sound of the "rim-
side" of the connected trigger input.
* Edge shots are possible when the connection is made to the
BOW/EDGE output.
* To make use of edge shot, you'll need to connect to a trigger
input jack on the percussion sound module that accommodates
rim shots.
Bell Shot
This playing method involves striking the bell. It corresponds
to the sound of the "rim-side" of the connected trigger input.
* Bell shots are possible when the connection is made to the
BOW/BELL output.
* To make use of bell shot, you'll need to connect to a trigger
input jack on the percussion sound module that accommodates
rim shots.
* Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of the stick
when playing bell shots.
