Head shots

fig.Head.e

Only playing the head 

and with certain snare 

sounds, the playing 

position will change the 

sound’s nuance.

See the TD-20X/TDW-20/TD-20/TD-12 owner’s manual 

for more info about which sounds allow this.

Rim shots

fig.Rim.e

Strike the head and the 

rim of the pad 

simultaneously.

Cross stick

Only strike the rim of the 

pad.

Depending on the 

instrument assigned to 

the rim you can play rim 

shots and/or cross stick 

sounds.

To play the cross stick, be sure that you only strike the 

rim of the pad. Placing your hand on the head of the 

pad might prevent the cross stick sound from being 

played properly.

With certain snare and tom sounds, slight changes in the way 

you play rim shots changes the nuance.

Normal rim shots (open rim shots)

Strike the head and rim 

simultaneously.

Shallow rim shots

Simultaneously strike the 

head near the rim and 

the rim itself.

• See the TD-20X/TDW-20/TD-20/TD-12 owner’s 

manual for more info about which sounds allow this.

• For more information on the trigger inputs of the 

various sound modules that support the use of rim 

shots, refer to p. 6.
