6.3 Playing the drum kit
Using the black plastic side of the bass drum beater will considerably maxi‐
mize the lifetime of the mesh head of the bass drum pad. Using the felt side
will accelerate the abrasion of the mesh head and may cause the break.
The bass drum beater can be rotated by 180 degrees by loosening the
locking screw.
Like on an acoustic drum kit, the pads respond to dierent playing techniques and
dynamics. All pads are velocity sensitive. Some voices change their timbre
depending on the punch used.
n Drums
With the snare drum we distinguish between Head and Rimshot.
– Head
Strike the head only.
– Rimshot
Simultaneously strike the head and the rim or only the rim of the pad.
n Cymbals
We distinguish the following cymbal zones:
– Bow
Play in the area between the edge and the bell of the cymbal.
– Choke
Choke Play is possible with Crash and Ride cymbals but not with the Hi-hat.
To do so, stop the sound of the Crash and Ride cymbals with the hand at the
edge of the cymbal immediately after hitting it.
