Playing the Pads If your electronic drum kit has velocity-sensitive pads, Turbo Drum Module will play sounds of varying timbres depending on how hard you hit the pads. Try hitting the pads with different amounts of force to experiment with the different sounds produced by the module! The hi-hat sound will vary based on the position of the hi-hat controller pedal: • Open hi-hat: With your foot off the pedal, hit the hi-hat pad. • Closed hi-hat: With your foot pressing the pedal all the way down, hit the hi-hat pad. • Pedal close: Press the hi-hat pedal all the way down without hitting the hi-hat pad. • Splash: Quickly press the hi-hat pedal all the way down, and then release it immediately.
