How to Play the Drum Pads

Snare/Tom
Just as on an acoustic snare, you can hit the drum pad
(e.g., TP120SD illustrated below) in three different ways
below. Keep in mind that the example TP120SD illus-
trated below is divided into three sections.
Open Rim Shot (rim 1)
Head Shot
Hitting the main surface of the
pad produces the Head Shot
sound.
Open Rim Shot
Hitting the Rim section closest
to you produces the Open Rim
Shot sound.
Closed Rim Shot
Hitting the Rim section farthest from you produces the
Closed Rim Shot sound.

DTXTREME III Owner's Manual
As with an acoustic hi-hat cymbal, you can play the cym-
bal pad (e.g., RHH135 illustrated below) along with the
Hi-Hat Controller (HH65, etc.) via the ways as illustrated
below. Keep in mind that the example RHH135 illustrated
below is divided into two sections.
Closed Rim Shot
(rim 2)
Head Shot
(main pad)
Open/Close
In addition to the Foot Close sound obtained pressing the
Hi-Hat Controller, you can hold and press the Controller
down even more firmly (in the closed condition) for get-
ting a "tighter" closed hi-hat sound.
Bow Shot
Hitting the main surface of
the pad (the bow section
located between the cup
and edge) produces the
Bow Shot sound.
Edge Shot
Hitting the outside edge of the
pad produces the Edge Shot
sound.
Hi-Hat Splash
Pressing the Hi-Hat Controller then releasing it immedi-
ately produces the Hi-Hat Splash sound.
