Playing the Drum Kit

The cross stick sound is sometimes referred to as a “closed rim shot.”
When using the PD-8 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 might prevent the cross stick sound from being played
properly.
Be sure the Snare pad is connected to the SNARE trigger input jack.
To play a cross stick sound, assign “S1r,” “S2r,” “S3r,” “S4r,” “S10,” or “S11” to the rim.
By selecting either “S1r,” “S2r,” “S3r,” or “S4r” as the SNARE rim instrument, you can have
either rim shot or cross stick sounds sound depending on how you play the instrument.
( → Selecting Sounds [INST] (p. 24))
Bow shots produce the sound assigned to the head and edge shots produce the sound assigned to the rim.

With “rd1” or “rd4” selected for the RIDE bow (head) instrument, you can switch between the
bow shot sound or the bell shot sound according your playing velocity (how hard you hit).
( → Selecting Sounds [INST] (p. 24))
Squeezing the rim portion of the pad, just after hitting it, allows you to mute or choke the sound.
This technique is known as choking .
