Overview of the TD-30
20
Playing method Explanation
Shallow rim shot
Simultaneously strike the head near the rim and the rim itself.
Hi-Hat
Playing method Explanation
Open/closed
The hi-hat tone changes smoothly and continuously from
open to closed in response to how far the pedal is pressed.
You can also play the foot closed sound (playing the hi-hat
with the pedal completely pressed down) and foot splash
sound (playing the hi-hat with the pedal fully pressed and
then instantly opening it).
Pressure
(VH-13/VH-12)
When you strike the hi-hat while pressing on the pedal with
the hi-hat closed, you can then change the closed tone in
response to the pressure you place on the pedal.
* The VH-11 and FD-8 do not respond to pressure.
Bow shot
This playing method involves striking the middle area of the
top hi-hat. It corresponds to the sound of the “head-side” of
the connected trigger input.
Edge shot
Edge sensor
This playing method involves striking the edge of the top
hi-hat with the shoulder of the stick. When played as shown
in the gure, 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 as shown in the
illustration.
* Do not strike the bottom of the top hi-hat, and do not strike the bottom hi-hat. Doing so will cause malfunctions.
