Basic Techniques Playing Techniques Basic Techniques Snare Pad If using a TP70S Snare Pad with the DTX452K, you will be able to produce three distinct sounds (i.e., head, open rim, and closed rim) depending on where you strike it, much the same as if you were playing an acoustic snare. Closed rim shots (Rim 2) Open rim shots (Rim 1) Head shots  Head shots Hitting the main surface of the pad produces a head shot sound. Hi-hat Cymbal  Open/close • You can produce an open hi-hat sound by striking the hi-hat pad with the hi-hat controller's pedal not depressed. • You can produce a closed hi-hat sound by striking the hi-hat pad with the hi-hat controller's pedal depressed. • If using an HH65 Hi-hat Controller with the DTX432K and DTX452K, you can operate the pedal to recreate the sound of a closing hi-hat.  Foot closed You can depress the hi-hat controller's pedal to create a foot-close sound without having to strike the hi-hat pad. NOTE If using an HH40 Hi-hat Controller with the DTX402K, the velocity is fixed regardless of how strongly or softly the hi-hat controller's pedal is depressed. For adjusting the fixed velocity value, see the description of the Foot Close Velocity parameter from Menu Mode (page 47).  Hi-hat splash Depressing the hi-hat controller's pedal and then immediately releasing it produces a hi-hat splash sound.  Open rim shots Hitting the open-rim zone produces an open rim-shot sound. Crash Cymbal  Choke You can immediately mute a sound by choking (pinching) the cymbal's edge with your hand after hitting the cymbal. The Choke function only works when you grasp in the sensor area.  Closed rim shots (cross sticking) Hitting the closed-rim zone produces a closed rim-shot sound.
