Drum Kits and Voices
A drum kit is the voices combination of all pads and cymbals. An
acoustic drum has only one fixed kit and it’s unchangeable. However, a
digital drum is preset with various voices of different styles and some
characterized voices of similar styles, allowing you to combine different
voices and make as many drum kits as you like. (Please refer to

Playing Techniques
This section introduces various performing techniques to make your
performance more 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
The snare drum can detect head shot, rim shot and cross stick. The
tom drum pad can respond head 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 strike only the
rim of the pad.
