• Use your audio player's volume control to adjust the sound level.

Introducing the Drum Set

Playing drums is not only fun, but just about anyone can easily start playing — they make sound when you simply hit them! Drums create the rhythmic foundation of music and are vital in maintaining the tempo and groove of the entire band.

Drum Set Elements

Here are some basic terms related to drum sets.

• The indications in parentheses () show the names used on the HD-3.

Bass Drum (Kick)

Played with a kick pedal, it's the largest drum in the kit.

Snare Drum

The snare drum is the main "voice" of a drum kit.

Hi-Hat/Hi-Hat Pedal

An acoustic hi-hat uses 2 cymbals mounted on a hi-hat stand.

Pressing the hi-hat pedal opens and closes it.

• The HD-3 uses a single pad.

Tom (Tom 1, Tom 2)

These are usually mounted above the bass drum.

Floor Tom (Tom 3)

Sometimes called a bass tom, it either stands on it's own legs or is mounted on a stand.

Ride Cymbal

Usually mounted on the right side of the kit, the ride cymbal is principle elements in keeping time.

Crash Cymbal

Smaller than the ride, the crash cymbal is mainly used for accents.

Acoustic Drum

HD-3

• Letters and numbers in parentheses ( ) relate to the cable labeling.

The Basics of Playing

Drums are played using both hands and both feet. Here we'll explain how to hold the sticks and use the pedals.

Holding the Sticks

The most common way to hold the sticks is called the "matched grip" as shown in the illustrations below.

Left hand

Right hand

Using the Kick Pedal

The kick pedal can be pressed in either of two ways: "heel up" or "heel down."

Heel down

In this method, the entire bottom of your foot from heel to toe stays in contact with the pedal. Use your ankle joint to make your toes push down the pedal. This method allows more precise control of the volume, and is often used in jazz and bossa nova.

Heel up

In this method, your heel floats above the pedal. With your heel off the pedal, lower your entire foot to push down the pedal. This method applies the full weight of your foot to the pedal, making it easier for you to produce a stronger sounds than the heel down method. This is often used in rock and pop.

Using the hi-hat

In an acoustic drum set, the hi-hat consists of two cymbals placed facing each other vertically on a hi-hat stand. The two

cymbals can be closed together by pressing the pedal.

A variety of playing techniques are possible, such as playing the cymbals with the pedal and/or playing them with sticks.

When you press the pedal, the two cymbals will come together (closed). When you release the pedal, the two cymbals will separate (opened).

The HD-3 lets you use five different hi-hat performance techniques.

Closed

With the hi-hat pedal pressed firmly, strike the pad with a stick. A short "chick" sound will be heard.

Half-open

With the hi-hat pedal pressed gently, strike the pad with a stick. A slightly longer "swish" sound will be heard.

Open

With the hi-hat pedal completely released, strike the pad with a stick. An even longer "sound" than the half-open sound will be heard.

Foot closed

Just press the pedal without using a stick. This sound will be softer and shorter than the closed sound played with a stick. Useful for keeping time with this tight sound.

Foot splash

Press and immediately release the pedal without using a stick.

This is equivalent to momentarily clashing the two cymbals of an acoustic hi-hat. It produces a "splash" sound that is softer than the open strike.

How to Read Drum Notation

Here's an example of typical notation used for a drum set. This example is a basic 8-beat pattern often used in rock and pop.

• The crash and ride are written in the same position of the notation. Notes with the accent mark " "are played on the crash, and notes without the accent mark are played on the ride.
• The hi-hat part can also be substituted with the ride cymbal part.

Switching the Power On and Off

For details on connecting the HD-3 sound module, refer to the separate "Setup Guide."

• Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

• Make sure that the HD-3's [VOLUME] knob, and that of any connected drum monitor, is set to the minimum level.

• Hold down the [POWER] switch of the HD-3 sound module to turn on the unit. To turn off the unit, hold down the [POWER] switch for several seconds.

• Before switching the power on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the power on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

• Turn on the power of the connected drum monitor.

• Raise the volume of both to get the sound level required.

• This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

• Turn the power off by reversing the order in which you turned the power on.

Selecting a Kit

A drum kit consists of sounds assigned to each pad. In some cases, the sound will change depending upon your playing dynamics.

1. Press one of the kit buttons ([1]-[10]).

Pressing these buttons will call up different kits.

1. Press the [VARIATION] button.

Variation kits are provided for each kit. Pressing the [VARIATION] button will switch to the variation kit of the selected drum kit.

The [VARIATION] button will light if a variation kit is selected.

Listening to Patterns

Here's how to listen to a performance example (pattern) using the drum kit.

• Before playing back a pattern, lower the volume of the HD-3. The volume of these patterns may be louder than when you play the kit normally, and you do not want to risk damage to your ears or connected equipment.

1. Press and hold one of the Kit Buttons ([1]–[10]) for a few seconds.

A pattern using this current kit will play. If you press the [VARIATION] button, the pattern for that variation kit will play.

MEMO

Each pattern will play at it's default tempo (set at the factory). If you want to change the tempo, play back the pattern and use the [▼][▲] buttons to adjust the tempo.
- You can NOT play the pads when a pattern is playing.
- No data for the music that is played will be output from MIDI OUT jack.

2. To stop pattern playback, press any kit button ([1]-[10]).

Playing Along With the Metronome

Here's how you can play the kit while listening to the metronome.

This is the best way to practice and learn to play at a steady tempo.

1. Press button.

2. Use the [Y] buttons to adjust the metronome speed.

The display will indicate the tempo.

Range: 40-250

MEMO

You can change the sound and volume of the metronome. For details, refer to "Changes the sound of the metronome" (p. 15).

TIPS

You can rapidly adjust the metronome volume by holding down the [ ] button and using the [ ] buttons.

The Edit screens allow you to make various settings for the HD-3.

Basic Operation in the Edit Screens

In the edit screens, you'll use the following procedure to make settings.

Troubleshooting

Problem Items to check Action
Power does not turn on	AC adaptor is connected properly? Correctly connect the AC adaptor (p. 5).
No sound	Could the [VOLUME] knob be turned all the way to the left?	Turn the [VOLUME] knob toward the right (p. 4).
	Are all pad cables connected correctly?	Make sure that the pad connections are correct, and that each pad is connected to the proper input. (See the separate "Setup Guide.")
	Are your headphones connected to theophone jack or the OUTPUT jack?	Make sure that the connections are correct (p. 5).
	Could the cable be connected to an output jack (instead of the input) of the connected device?	Refer to the owner's manual of the device you're using, and check that you're using the correct jack.
	Is the input setting correct on the connected device?	Refer to the owner's manual of the connected device, and check its input setting.
Sound is too soft/ loud when playing	Could the pad sensitivity be set too low or too high?	Check the sensitivity adjustments (p. 16).
Double triggering occurs	Could a cable be touching a pad?	Use the cable ties to fasten the cables so that they do not touch the pads. When doing so, be sure that the cables are not strained by the movement of the pads when you strike them.
	Are the cymbal knob and cymbal felt attached correctly?	Double triggering can occur if the cymbal knob or cymbal felt are loose. Tighten the cymbal knob more securely so that the double triggering does not occur. (See the separate "Setup Guide.")
No Sound from external audio source connected to the MIX IN jack	Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?	If you are using a connection cable that contains a resistor, this will reduce the volume. Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
	The connected cable might be broken.	Replace the cable.
	Is the connected device powered-on?	Check the power of the connected device.
	Is the volume level of the connected device turned down completely?	Refer to the owner's manual for the device, then set the volume.
Sound is distorted in headphones	Sometimes, setting the headphone output too high using certain tones can make it appear that the sound is somewhat distorted.	Use the [VOLUME] knob to decrease the volume. This alleviates the distortion (p. 4).
Output sound is distorted	Could the volume be too high?	Use the [VOLUME] knob to decrease the volume. Alternatively, lower the input volume of the amplified speaker system that's connected.
