How to Play with Songs
《
Introduction
》
There are many different musical genres and rhythm styles throughout the world. We have
selected ten songs for the DTX Drums series from mainstream genres and techniques to help hone
your drumming skills. Even beginning drummers will easily be able to build their chops by following
along with the sequence charts presented below. Those able to read music are welcome to try out
each song using the drum score as well. Scores with “Lesson (number)” written on them for songs
in each genre are compatible with the “Song part gate” practice parts in training mode. For details,
see the owner’s manual. Additionally, you can use “DTX402 Touch,” a dedicated iOS/Android
application for the DTX402 Series, to view example videos of performances by the authors.

How to Read the Sequence Chart
》
The notes that form the basis of a rhythm pattern or ll are assigned to a series of
numbers that varies depending on the feel or groove.
8th Note Feel : 1-8 / 16th Note Feel : 1-16 / Triplet Feel : 1-12
The count of the beats within one bar within 4/4 time. The numbers displayed in red in
this row follow quarter note timing (starting on the downbeat). It is important to count
out the time aloud.
This is a common practice method, where "&" is pronounced "and," "e" is
pronounced as "ee," and "a" is pronounced as "ah."
You can use either numbers or counts to decide when to say each word. Try using
the number method rst, and then practice counting when you become used to it.
