Roland PD-105X, PD-125X, PD-125XS Playing Methods

Head shots

fig.Head.e

Only playing the head

and with certain snare

sounds, the playing

position will change the

sound’s nuance.

See the TD-20X/TDW-20/TD-20/TD-12 owner’s manual

for more info about which sounds allow this.

Rim shots

fig.Rim.e

Strike the head and the

rim of the pad

simultaneously.

Cross stick

Only strike the rim of the

pad.

Depending on the

instrument assigned to

the rim you can play rim

shots and/or cross stick

sounds.

To play the cross stick, be sure that you only strike the

rim of the pad. Placing your hand on the head of the

pad might prevent the cross stick sound from being

played properly.

With certain snare and tom sounds, slight changes in the way

you play rim shots changes the nuance.

Normal rim shots (open rim shots)

Strike the head and rim

simultaneously.

Shallow rim shots

Simultaneously strike the

head near the rim and

the rim itself.

• See the TD-20X/TDW-20/TD-20/TD-12 owner’s

manual for more info about which sounds allow this.

• For more information on the trigger inputs of the

various sound modules that support the use of rim

shots, refer to p. 6.
