LAYING ECHNIQUES
Open-Closed
The Hi-Hat sound will vary in any of its sound components (Bell,
Bow, Edge), depending on the angle of the foot board. In
closed states, the controller can distinguish between splash
techniques (short closing time) and chick techniques with
longer closing times. The full potential of electronic Hi-Hats is
described by the interplay between, Cymbal, Controller, Pe-
dal action and Sound Module.
Tip Stroke (Bow)
Strike the bow region with the tip of the stick within the high-
lighted area. This will trigger the bow sound. Use this tech-
nique in conjunction with the pedal techniques to produce
different sound qualities of the cymbals.
Bell Stroke
Bells on acoustic cymbals produce musical sounds using ei-
ther the shoulder or the tip of the stick. Utilize both techniques
to trigger the bell sound. Use this technique in conjunction
with the pedal techniques to make use of the full range of
bell sounds stored within a multi-layered sample.
Hi-Hat Pedal
Closed with additional pressure
Applying even more pressure in closed states can alter the
closed sound towards an even tighter sound. Hi-Hat sounds
will become even sharper, while applying this technique to
Bass Drums, it can be utilized to mimic the effect of burying
the beater (pitch bend).
Hi-Hat
Edge Stroke
Strike the edge with the shoulder of the stick in the region of
the edge sensor. This will trigger the edge sound. Use this
technique in conjunction with the pedal techniques to pro-
duce open and closed edge sounds.
Cymbal Choke
After performing an Edge Stroke, subsequently apply pressure
to the edge sensor using the fingers. This will prevent the edge
sound from sustaining any longer. Regarding Hi-Hats this tech-
nique is only practical for longer sounding, open sounds.
With pressure applied to the edge, striking the cymbal will re-
sult in a short, staccato edge sound.
