Pad Head Shots and Rim Shots

When you perform a head shot, the head instrument is played; rim shots
produce the sound of the rim instrument.
To play a rim shot, you must
strike both the head and the rim of the pad
simultaneously
.
PD-7, PD-8, PD-9, PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, PD-125:
Both head and rim shots are available.
PD-6, PD-80, PD-100, RP-2:
Only head shots are available

Cross Stick

When you perform a cross stick, the rim instrument is played.
When using the PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, or PD-125 to play the cross
stick, be sure that you only strike the rim (outer edge) of the pad. Placing your
hand on the head (center area) of the pad prevents the cross stick sound from
being played properly.

Rim • When using rim shots
on the PD-80R, PD-85,
PD-105, PD-120 or PD-
125, connect the pad to
TRIGGER INPUT 2
(SNARE).
• The cross stick is also
referred to as a “closed
rim shot.”
By selecting the
instruments with “XS”
after the instrument name,
playing a rim shot
produces a rim shot tone,
and cross sticking gives a
cross stick tone.
