USING DISCOVER DRUMS
PLAYING THE DEMO SONG
The included demo song showcases the features and functions of DISCOVER DRUMS.
1. Press DEMO. The demo song will start to play.
2. Strike the drum pads. To play the same drum pattern as the song, watch the
screen as bars descend in four columns to the horizontal line at the bottom. When
a bar passes the line, strike the corresponding pad. (You can also watch the lights
under the pads and hit the pads as they light up instead.)
Tip: To hear just the drums, press the CHORD button to turn off the background
music. You can press it again to turn it back on. This is useful if you are trying to
figure out the drum pattern by itself.
3. You can adjust the volume of the song and drum pads by pressing
MAIN VOLUME and rotating the DIAL. You can also adjust the
volume of the song alone (to balance it with your own performance
on the drum pads) by pressing RHYTHM VOLUME and rotating
the DIAL.
4. To stop the demo song, press DEMO again.
PLAYING RHYTHMS
DISCOVER DRUMS comes with 50 different rhythms that you can play to.
1. Press RHYTHM. The number of the currently selected Rhythm
will be displayed on the screen.
