Playing Along With a Song
The DTXTREME III contains a wide variety of Preset Songs, organized into the following three categories.
Demo Songs
These Songs are created to showcase the high-quality sound of the DTXTREME III.
Practice Songs
These Songs are created to help you practice in a wide variety of musical genres.
Pad Songs (page 93)
These Songs are created to be called up (during a performance, for example) by hitting a pad.
Tr y selecting among these and play along with them—they are effective tools that help you learn how to drum and mas-
ter drumming techniques. The DTXTREME III conveniently lets you mute the drum part of a Song and have only the
bass part sound during playback, so you can play the drum part yourself.
Song Playback
Select one of the DTXTREME III’s Preset Songs and listen to it. The Preset Songs include accompaniment with keyboard,
brass, and other voices as well as drum sounds. For a list of the Preset Songs, see the separate Data List booklet.
