The pads come in two different models. The Cast Precision Pads feature real drum heads. The Cast Pre-
cision Pads also detect pressure and position (Where on the pad you strike). They are also dampened for
more quiet acoustic noise. The other model is the Cast Precision Mesh Head Pads which feature a “silent”
web drumhead for minimum acoustic noise. To minimize the acoustic noise even more, the rim hoops
are rubber coated. Both pad models are assembled in conjunction with a cast aluminum shell. The feel
of the pads is as important to the overall function of the ddrum4 SE system as the sounds themselves.

The Cast Cymbal offers both bell and ride zones. Since they are also chokeable you can either choke them
with your hand or with the drumstick itself. The Cast Cymbals are fitted on a special spring to make them
feel like acoustic cymbals. The innovative hi-hat triggering interface and the Cast Hi-hat makes it possible
to play with a continuous three-way action, foot, open or closed sounds. The playing response is as close
as you can get to the “real thing”. The Cast Cymbal and the Cast Hi-hat’s playing surface is rubber coated
metal for the right feel.

At the Clavia web site (http://www.clavia.se), you will find more sounds (free of charge) to download to
your ddrum4 SE. These sounds are in the MIDI file format. Use the ddrum4Tool program (PC) to listen
to the sounds and to download them to the ddrum4 SE brain. The ddrum4Tool program is included on
the CD ROM that comes with the ddrum4 SE module. You could also open the MIDI files in a standard
MIDI sequencer, and download them to your ddrum4 SE as standard MIDI Sysex files.
