: Eighth notes are to be played with a triplet feel.
In this manual some notes appear in parentheses. This indicates that the note is played by the instrument and you do not need to play it.
The following are drum scores for each Pattern, with the Pattern number, Pattern name and the recommended
Drum Kit number indicated. (Some of the scores also include the recommended Magic Tom number indicat-
ing the space for a fill-in.) Refer to the "Drum Kit List" (page 20) to see the voice assignments to pads and
