Playing Methods
An Overview of the TD-20
Bow Shot
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.
fig.Play-CYBow
Edge Shot
This playing method involves striking the edge with the
shoulder of the stick. When played as shown in the figure, the
“rim-side” sound of the connected input is triggered.

Bell Shot (CY-15R)
This playing method involves striking the bell. On the CY-
15R, when played as shown in the figure, the “rim-side”
sound of the connected input is triggered.
fig.Play-Bell
* Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of the stick.
* On the CY-14C, bell shots are not supported.
Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound stop.
Choke the location of the edge sensor shown in the figure. If
you choke an area where there is no sensor, the sound does
not stop.

With certain ride sounds, playing position will change the
nuance of the sound.
* Only TRIGGER INPUT 10 RIDE corresponds to the
positional sensing.
About the instruments corresponding to each playing
method, refer to p. 95.
