Ride Cymbal

The DM Pro Kit's Ride Cymbal is adjusted in much the same way as the Snare Drum.
Adjust the sensitivity of the ride and bell to your playing style. This varies from player to
p l a y e r, and depends on how hard you play and what size sticks you use.
Hit the ride and raise the threshold parameter on the bell until the bell no longer plays when
you hit the ride. For this setting the crosstalk should be very low and only used to isolate
the Ride Cymbal from other drums on the rack. Now, raise the crosstalk on the ride so that
when you strike the bell the ride doesn't play.

Tom Pad

The drum head on each DM Pro Kit Tom is also fully adjustable. You can adjust the tension
tighter for "mounted" toms and looser for "floor" toms so the feel of the drums duplicates
the same corresponding acoustic drum size.

Crash Cymbal

The DM Pro Kit Crash Cymbal has full "choke" capabilities. The choke circuit is the silver
strip that runs along the underside of the front edge of the cymbal. Choking occurs exactly
like playing an acoustic cymbal. When you hit the cymbal and grab the edge, the cymbal
sound stops abruptly. For advanced choke set up, please refer to the DM Pro Reference Manual.
Kick Trigger
Some players have a tendency to let the bass drum beater "slap back" after hitting, resulting
in an unintentional double trigger or flam effect. On the electronic set, you can overcome
this by setting your retrigger cancel parameter higher. You can also adjust the threshold,
allowing the hard hits to go through while effectively gating the slap back.
