Basic Techniques Striking the Drum Pads Cymbals When using a three-zone cymbal pad such as the PCY135, you can produce a number of distinct sounds, much the same as if you were playing an acoustic ride cymbal. Bell shots (Rim 2) Edge shots (Rim 1) Bow shots Bow shots Striking the main surface of the cymbal pad (i.e., the bow section located between the cup and edge) produces a bow shot sound. Choking Grabbing the edge of a cymbal pad immediately after striking it will silence the sound being produced. Edge shots Striking the outside edge of the cymbal pad produces an edge shot sound. Muting Striking the pad while holding the edge will produce a muted sound. Bell shots Striking the cup produces a bell shot sound. 18 DTX502 Owner's Manual
