A drum kit consists of drum pads, cymbals pads and Hi-Hat pedal physically.
They generate sound in different way such as by striking head or rim of drum pad, triggered by
striking cymbal bow or edge, pressing Hi-Hat pedal. We call the source to generate sound as Part.
Each part is identified on the display by the icon with mark. The icon refers to part of striking head
of pad and cymbal is shown below. H.PDL refers to sound generated by pressing the Hi-Hat pedal.

Alternative part of the same instrument is shown by extra mark under the icon. For example, the
part generating sound by striking the rim of Tom 1 pad is marked by an arch under the TOM1 icon.
