All the pads are velocity sensitive. And some voices change timbre depending on the striking force. Drum Pad Head or Rim shot The digital drum pad detects head and rim shots (rim shots trigger the rim voice). Cymbal Bow shot and Rim shotThe digital drum cymbals detect bow shot and rim shots (rim shots trigger the rim voice).Both Ride and Crash cymbals have cymbal choke. But hi-hat don't have the cymbal chokeChoking the crash/ride edge with the hand immediately after hitting the crash/ride mutes the crash/ride sound.Hi-HatThe Hi-Hat sound varies depending on the position of the Hi-Hat pedal: Open Hi-Hat: Strike the Hi-Hat pad without pressing the pedal.
