Advanced Features and Tips
Pre-Selecting Timing and Feel Settings
In most cases, the SDRUM does a great job of automatically determining the timing and feel when learning a
new drum pattern. However, if you are teaching the SDRUM a drum pattern and aren't getting the expected
results, you may need to override the SDRUM's automatic detection and select a specific timing and/or feel
setting before teaching it the new pattern.
To pre-select timing/feel before teaching a new drum pattern:
1. Select an empty song part using the VERSE, CHORUS, or BRIDGE button. The LEARN LED should be
flashing, indicating the part is empty.
2. Turn the GROOVE/KIT knob to select the desired time signature (3/4 or 4/4) and/or feel (ST (straight) or SW
(swing)), then press the GROOVE/KIT encoder.
3. The pre-selected timing and/or feel LED will now flash, indicating that it will override the automatically
detected timing or feel.
NOTE: Pre-selected settings are global, meaning that once settings are pre-selected, they will be used for
teaching all parts within the song.
TIP: To turn automatic detection back on, simply select the time signature or feel setting that is flashing, then
press the GROOVE/KIT encoder.
Teaching an Entire Song At Once
Using the advanced SDRUM features described in this section of the manual, an entire song can be created
by teaching only the verse part. Simply pre-select the desired timing and feel settings with the GROOVE/KIT
encoder, then press the BRIDGE button to enable the bridge part to be learned with the verse and chorus. You
can even pre-select the ALT options and HATS/RIDES settings for each part. Arm the SDRUM to learn, then teach
the verse drum pattern. That's it! A complete song is now available to jam and experiment with.
