Playing the Pads
■ 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-9, PD-80R, PD-120:
Both head and rim shots are available.
PD-5, PD-6, PD-80, PD-100:
Only head shots are available
fig.P-025.e
■ Cross Stick
When you perform a cross stick, the rim instrument is played.
When using the PD-80R or PD-120 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.

playing a rim shot
produces a rim shot tone,
and cross sticking gives a
cross stick tone. Rim
