After count-in, the song will start playback from the beginning. You can stop the song during playback by

If the song number is switched while playing, the new song won’t start until the end of the current bar.
During song playback in song menu, the Pad indicators will show which pads the drum track is triggering.

you to practice playing the drum part along with the rest of the accompaniment.
