Getting Ready An Overview of the TD-50X Drum Kits On the TD-50X, the sounds that play when you strike each pad are called “instruments.” A set of instruments allocated to the respective pads is called a “drum kit.” Drum kit 100 Drum kit 1 Pad settings Pads Pad compressor, etc.
Getting Ready Memories The settings for drum kits, triggers and so on are saved in “memories.
Getting Ready About Performance Techniques As with an acoustic drum kit, the TD-50X supports a variety of playing techniques. NOTE 55Use only wooden or plastic sticks. Using carbon or metal sticks may cause the sensors to malfunction. 55Use nylon brushes. Using metal brushes may cause the sensors to malfunction or damage the pads. Change the nuance of the rim shot Pads Head shot Tone changes depending on strike point Rim shot Hit only the head of the pad.
Getting Ready Edge shot Nuance changes depending on the strike location This technique involves striking the edge of the top cymbal with the shoulder of the stick. When played as shown in the illustration, the “rim-side” sound of the connected trigger input is triggered. Striking directly on the edge (i.e., exactly from the side) will not produce the correct sound. Strike the cymbal as shown in the illustration.
