Basic Techniques
Striking the Drum Pads
18
DTX502 Owner’s Manual
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.
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.
Edge shots
Striking the outside edge of the cymbal pad produces an
edge shot sound.
Bell shots
Striking the cup produces a bell shot sound.
Choking
Grabbing the edge of a cymbal pad immediately after strik-
ing it will silence the sound being produced.
Muting
Striking the pad while holding the edge will produce a
muted sound.
