About the Preset Drum Kits

The TD-12 is shipped from the factory with 50 pre-loaded
drum kits. These drum kits are referred to as Preset Drum
Kits.
The features of each preset drum kit, pad pattern function
settings, and other information is listed in the Preset Drum
Kit List (p. 84). Look through this list to find the kit you want
to use.
Playing Patterns to Check
Drum Kit Tones
The preset patterns offer a convenient way to check the drum
kit sounds.
By selecting instruments and then playing back patterns with
these instruments, you can confirm the sounds of instrument
combinations; for example, kick and snare or snare and tom.
