Basic Techniques Playing Techniques Snare Pad If using a TP70S Snare Pad, 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, 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.  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.  Closed rim shots (cross sticking) Hitting the closed-rim zone produces a closed rim-shot sound. 24 DTX400K/DTX430K/DTX450K Owner's Manual
