Basic Techniques Practicing in Training Mode 8. PART MUTE Practicing by parts: 8. PART MUTE Part Mute is an exercise which you can mute any or all of the drum parts (such as snare and kick) and the instrument parts (non-drum parts) from a song. You can select the drum parts/instrument parts to be muted by pressing the corresponding number buttons. Part Mute can be useful in many ways-for example, for practicing only the snare part of a rhythm, or for tightening up your rhythm section skills by practicing only with a bass guitar sound. Keep in mind that this exercise is not scored. (off) (off) Hi-hat Kick Cymbal Snare Tom Drum parts Other song parts Bass part Procedure 1. Press the Mode switch to turn the "TRAINING" light on.
