Playing the Pads

Similar to an acoustic drum kit, the digital drum responds
differently to various playing techniques and dynamics. All the
pads are velocity sensitive. And some voices change timbre
depending on the striking force.
Drum Pad Head or Rim shot
The digital drum pad detects head and rim shots (rim shots
trigger the rim voice).
Cymbal Bow shot and Rim shot
The digital drum cymbals detect bow shot and rim shots (rim
shots trigger the rim voice).
Both Ride and Crash cymbals have cymbal choke. But hi-hat
don't have the cymbal choke
Choking the crash/ride edge with the hand immediately after
hitting the crash/ride mutes the crash/ride sound.
Hi-Hat
The Hi-Hat sound varies depending on the position of the Hi-
Hat pedal:
Open Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-Hat pad without pressing the
pedal.
Half-Open Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal pressed
halfway down.
Closed Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal pressed
completely down.
Pedal Close: Press the pedal completely down without
striking the pad.
Splash: Press the pedal completely down and
release it immediately.
