How to Play the Drum Pads

Ride Cymbal

As with an acoustic ride cymbal, you can play the cymbal pad (e.g., PCY155 illustrated below) via the various ways as illustrated below. Keep in mind that the example PCY155 illustrated below is divided into three sections.

Bell Shot (rim 2)

Bow Shot

Edge Shot (rim 1)

Bow Shot

Hitting the main surface of the pad (bow section located between the cup and edge) produces the Bow Shot sound.

Choke

Grabbing the edge of the Cymbal pad immediately after hitting it will stop the sound.

NOTE

Depending on the voice assigned to the Edge section, the sound may not stop immediately.

MuteHitting the pad while holding the edge produces a muted sound.
