About the Display in the Upper Right of the Screen

Many edit screens require you to hit a pad or the [PREVIEW] button to access the parameters you want. The upper right of the display will show the number and trigger input jack name of the corresponding pad. The first character (“H” or “R”) stands for Head or Rim. ([RIM] lights up when played.)

You can use the TRIGGER SELECT buttons and [PREVIEW] to get the same results. In cases where settings for the head and rim can be edited separately, the following characters will also be displayed.

About the Preset Drum Kits

The TD-20 is shipped from the factory with 50 pre-loaded drum kits. After changing the settings, you can restore the factory settings at any time (p. 69). These drum kits are referred to as Preset Drum Kits.
