Playing Techniques
This section introduces various performance functions to make your
performance professional. 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.
Pad
Only the snare drum can detect both head shot and rim shot.
Head Shot
Strike only the head of the pad.
Rim Shot
Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously. Or you can only
strike the rim of the pad.
Cymbal
Cymbal Bow shot
Playing the middle area of the cymbal.
Choke Play
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
Hi-Hat Pedal Change
With different positions the pedal pressed down, the voice of pad
varied while you are striking the Hi-Hat pad. And this is similar to an
acoustic drum.
Open Hi-Hat
Strike the Hi-Hat pad without pressing the pedal.
Closed Hi-Hat
Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal pressed completely down.
Hi-Hat Pedal
Press down the hi-hat controller’s pedal to create a foot-close sound
without having to strike the hi-hat pad.
Splash
Playing the hi-hat with the pedal fully pressed and then instantly
opening it.
