Playing Techniques

The DM-110 allows for various playing techniques to produce different sounds:

Snare: Strike the head for a main snare sound, or strike the rim for a rimshot sound.
Tom: Strike the head of the tom pad.
Kick Drum: Strike the pad with the bass drum beater.
Crash/Ride Cymbal: Strike the bow of the cymbal for a sustained sound, or strike the edge for a brighter, shorter sound.
Hi-Hat: The Hi-hat sound varies depending on the pedal's position.

Open Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-hat cymbal while the pedal is not pressed.
Closed Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-hat cymbal while the pedal is pressed down.

Cymbal Choke: To mute a cymbal sound immediately after striking it, strike the edge of the cymbal and then quickly grasp it with your hand. This technique provides realistic sound control.
