To play the cross stick, be sure
that you only strike the rim of
the pad. Placing your hand on
the head of the pad might
prevent the cross stick sound
from being played properly.
For more information on the
trigger inputs of the various
sound modules that support
the use of rim shots, refer to p.
4.
When using brushes, be sure to
use nylon brushes.
