Play the Pads/Pedals
14 DD-65/YDD-60 Owner’s Manual
You can play the pads of the instrument either with the supplied sticks or with your hands. Press and
set the following button when you play the instrument with your hands.
1Press the [HAND PERC.] button.
If you perform on the instrument solely with your hands, we recommend that you use this operation
to lock the Hand Percussion so that it is always on. This protects the instrument from being inadvert-
ently changed during your performance.
1Make sure that Hand Percussion is set to on (the
lamp is lit).
2Set the Hand Percussion Lock to ON.
3To turn off Hand Percussion Lock, press and hold
the [HAND PERC.] button until the “LOC” is no
longer shown on the display.
Setting the Hand Percussion ON/OFF
When you press the [HAND PERC.] button, the button’s lamp lights,
and the pad sensitivity is automatically adjusted for optimum playing
by hand. At the same time, an appropriate song (059) and drum kit(37)
are automatically called up.
When Hand Percussion is off, Song (001) and drum kit (01) are auto-
matically called up.
• Be sure to strike the pads only with your hands when HAND PERCUS-
SION is on, since the sensitivity is automatically set to appropriate level for
hand playing.
