performance professional. Similar to an acoustic drum kit, the digital
drum responds differently to various playing techniques and dynamics.
All the pads are velocity sensitive. And some voices change timbre
depending on the striking force.
Pad
Only the snare drum can detect both head shot and rim shot.
