Performing

After powering up, the digital drum will be in KIT menu (KIT 

indicator ON ). The display should look like this:     

Use the [  ] and [  ] buttons to select the  active kit.  

There are 40 kits in the digital drum: 

    24 preset kits (Kits 01-24) 

    16 user kits (Kits 25-40), the parameter display area will  

    display as "U25~U40", with an additional letter "U".

Pressing the Pad Select buttons allows you to preview the     

current kit (fixed velocity). 

Hit the pads to play the current kit.

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. 

Drum Pad Head or Rim shot 

The digital drum pad detects head and rim shots (rim shots 

trigger the rim voice). 

Cymbal Bow shot and Choke

The digital drum cymbals detect bow shot. 

Only the Crash cymbals have cymbal choke.

Choking the Crash’s edge with the hand immediately after 

hitting the crash mutes the crash sound.

Hi-Hat

The Hi-Hat sound varies depending on the position of the 

Hi-Hat pedal: 

Strike the Hi-Hat pad without pressing the 

pedal. 

Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal 

pressed halfway down. 

Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal 

pressed completely down. 

Press the pedal completely down without 

striking the pad. 

Press the pedal completely down and 

release it immediately.
