Playing Methods
fig.Play-Head.e
Head Shot
Hit only the head of the pad.
With certain snare sounds,
playing position will change
the nuance of the sound.
fig.Play-Rim.e
Rim Shot
Strike the head and the rim of
the pad simultaneously.
fig.Play-Cross.e
Cross Stick
Only strike the rim of the pad.
Depending on the instrument
assigned to the rim you can
play rim shots and/or cross
stick sounds.
* To play the cross stick, be sure that you only strike the rim of
the pad. Placing your hand on the head of the pad might
prevent the cross stick sound from being played properly.
With certain snare and tom sounds, slight changes in the way
you play rim shots changes the nuance.
fig.Play-Rim.e
Normal Rim Shot
(Open Rim Shot)
Strike the head and rim
simultaneously.
fig.Play-Shallow.e
Shallow Rim Shot
Simultaneously strike the head near
the rim and the rim itself.
Open/Closed
The hi-hat tone changes smoothly and continuously from
open to closed in response to how far the pedal is pressed.
You can also play the foot closed sound (playing the hi-hat
with the pedal completely pressed down) and foot splash
sound (playing the hi-hat with the pedal fully pressed and
then instantly opening it).
Pressure
When you strike the hi-hat while pressing on the pedal with
the hi-hat closed, you can then change the closed tone in
response to the pressure you place on the pedal.
Bow Shot
This playing method involves striking the middle area of the
top hi-hat. It corresponds to the sound of the “head-side” of
the connected trigger input.
fig.Play-VHBow
Edge Shot
This playing method involves striking the edge of the top hi-
hat with the shoulder of the stick. When played as shown in
the figure, the “rim-side” sound of the connected trigger input
is triggered.
fig.Play-VHEdge.e
* Do not strike the bottom hi-hat or the underside of the top hi-
hat.
