Integrating Electronic & Acoustic Drums
The following describes a couple of examples of how you can integrate electronic and acoustic
drums.
By attaching a CSAT924A Cymbal Stand Attachment and a drum
holder to the cymbal stand from an acoustic drum kit, you can
easily add an electronic drum pad such as the TP70, XP70, or
XP80 to that kit. The following diagram shows a typical example
of how the various components can be set up. When assembled,
remember to set the Pad Type parameter (page 68) to match the
drum pad being used.
You can attach a DT10 or DT20 Drum Trigger to the head or shell
of an acoustic drum to send a trigger signal to your drum module
whenever the drum is struck.
If connecting an acoustic drum via a DT10 or DT20 Drum Trig-
ger in this way, choose the appropriate DT10/DT20 setting for the
Pad Type parameter. See page 68 for more details.

Playing the DTX502 Using Acoustic
Drums
NOTE
•If you wish to play User Waves, refer to the Reference Manual
(page 79).
• If the acoustic drum produces multiple sounds when hit, adjust the
settings of the Minimum Level parameter (page 68), the Reject
Time parameter (page 69 ), and the Noise Filter parameter (page
69).
• If the sensitivity of the drum trigger seems to low, adjust the set-
tings of the Gain parameter (page 68) and the Wait Time parameter
(page 69).
