Playing Drum Pads
If using a three zone pad such as the PCY135 shown below, you
will be able to play it in the same way as an acoustic ride cym-
bal.
 Bow shot
Hitting the main surface of the pad (i.e., the bow section
located between the cup and edge) produces a bow shot
sound.
 Edge shot
Hitting the outside edge of the pad produces an edge shot
sound.
 Bell shot
Hitting the cup produces a bell shot sound.
 Choking
Grabbing the edge of a cymbal pad immediately after hitting
it will silence the sound being produced.
 Muting
Hitting the pad while holding the edge will produce a muted
sound.
