Playing Techniques

Snare Pad

If using a TP70S Snare Pad, you will be able to produce
three distinct sounds (i.e., head, open rim, and closed rim)
depending on where you strike it, much the same as if you
were playing an acoustic snare.
Open rim shots (Rim 1)
 Head shots
Hitting the main surface of the pad produces a head shot
sound.
 Open rim shots
Hitting the open-rim zone produces an open rim-shot
sound.
 Closed rim shots (cross sticking)
Hitting the closed-rim zone produces a closed rim-shot
sound.

Owner's Manual

Hi-hat Cymbal

 Open/close
•
You can produce an open hi-hat sound by striking the
hi-hat pad with the hi-hat controller's pedal not
depressed.
•
You can produce a closed hi-hat sound by striking the
hi-hat pad with the hi-hat controller's pedal depressed.
•
If using an HH65 Hi-hat Controller, you can operate
the pedal to recreate the sound of a closing hi-hat.
 Foot closed
You can depress the hi-hat controller's pedal to create a
foot-close sound without having to strike the hi-hat pad.
 Hi-hat splash
Depressing the hi-hat controller's pedal and then imme-
diately releasing it produces a hi-hat splash sound.
