Playing Methods

fig.26.e

Head Shots

Hit only the head of the pad. With certain snare sounds, playing position will change
the nuance of the sound.

fig.27.e

Rim Shots

Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously.

fig.28.e

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.

fig.27.e

Normal Rim Shots (Open Rim Shots)

Strike the head and rim simultaneously.

fig.29.e

Shallow Rim Shots

Simultaneously strike the head near the rim and the rim itself.
The same effect is produced by striking only the rim.

* See the TD-20 owner's manual for more info about which sounds allow this.
