Overview
Drum kit
A “drum kit” contains instrument (instrumental sound)
settings for each pad, effect settings, and settings for the
entire kit.
When the TD-20X is shipped, it contains drum kits 1–100.
Each drum kit has distinctive instruments and effects for each
pad, and by switching drum kits you can enjoy playing a wide
variety of drum sounds.

Preset drum kits
With the factory settings, user memory contains drum
kit numbers 1–100.
These factory-set drum kits are called the “preset drum
kits.”
When you edit the settings of a drum kit, the contents of
the preset drum kit will be overwritten.
If you want to restore the preset drum kit settings to
their original condition, you can copy the
corresponding TD-20 or TDW-20 drum kit from preset
memory (p. 42), or execute the “Factory Reset” (p. 114)
operation to return the TD-20X to its factory-set
condition.
Each drum kit contains the following settings.
Instruments
Each instrumental sound such as a snare drum or kick drum is
called an “instrument.”
An instrument is assigned to each part of a pad that can be
struck separately, such as the “head” and the “rim.”
You can create the desired sound by editing the settings of
each instrument. By using “V-EDIT” you can also reproduce
the tonal change caused by changes in the material and
depth of the drum body of the selected instrument. For more
about “V-EDIT” refer to “What is V-EDIT?” (p. 48).
Mixer
Within each drum kit, you can adjust the volume balance and
pan (stereo position) of each pad.
The “mixer” is where you make volume and pan settings for
each pad.
