Playing Techniques
If using a TP70S Snare Pad with the DTX452K, 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.
Head shots
Hitting the main surface of the pad produces a head shot
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.
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 with the
DTX432K and DTX452K, 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 imme-
diately releasing it produces a hi-hat splash sound.
Choke
You can immediately mute a sound by choking (pinch-
ing) the cymbal’s edge with your hand after hitting the
cymbal. The Choke function only works when you
grasp in the sensor area.

Hi-hat Cymbal
If using an HH40 Hi-hat Controller with the DTX402K, the
velocity is fixed regardless of how strongly or softly the hi-hat
controller’s pedal is depressed. For adjusting the fixed veloc-
ity value, see the description of the Foot Close Velocity
parameter from Memu Mode (page 47).
