Performance Techniques

Pads (e.g., PDX-8, PD-8)

Head Shot
Hit only the head of the pad.
fig.Play-Head.eps
Head
Open Rim Shot
Strike the rim of the pad.
fig.Play-Rim.eps
Rim
Cross Stick
Only strike the rim of the pad.
Velocity switching "snare rim" sound, played softly produces a
cross stick sound, and when played harder, produces a open rim
shot sound (p. 29).
fig.Play-Cross.eps
* To play the cross stick, be sure that you only strike the rim of
the pad. Place your hand on the head gently, otherwise this
may prevent the cross stick function from working properly.
When playing cross stick, set "Xstick Volume" (p. 29) to
anything other than "OFF."

Cymbals (e.g., CY-8, CY-12R/C)

Bow Shot
The most common method, playing the middle area of the
cymbal.
fig.Play-CYBow.eps
Edge Shot
When striking the edge with the shoulder of the stick (as shown in
the figure).

Bell Shot (CY-12R/C, CY-15R)
This playing method involves striking the bell of the cymbal.
* Set the Crash 2 Usage setting (p. 36) to "RIDE BELL."
fig.Play-CYBell.eps
* Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of the stick.
Choking a Cymbal
Choking (pinching) the cymbal's edge with the hand immediately
after hitting the cymbal will mute or choke the sound, just like
with a real cymbal. The Choke function only works when you grasp
in the area (where the edge sensor is) as shown in the figure. If you
do otherwise, it will not work.
