Playing method
Explanation
Bow shot
Nuance changes depending
on the strike location
This is the most common playing
method, playing the middle area of the
cymbal. It corresponds to the sound
of the “head-side” of the connected
trigger input.
Edge shot
Edge sensor
This playing method involves striking
the edge with the shoulder of the stick.
When played as shown in the figure,
the rim sound of the connected input
is triggered.
Bell shot
This is the technique of striking the
bell.
Striking the bell area will produce the
rim sound of the connected trigger
input.
Strike using the shoulder of the stick.
Choke play
Edge sensor
Sensor
If you use your hand to choke (grasp)
the edge sensor after striking the
cymbal, the sound stops.
In addition, placing your hand on the
sensor will also stop the sound (mute).
If you strike the cymbal in a choked or
mute state, it rings a shorter time.
