Focusing on accurate timing, play the pads along
with the metronome.
 Display of individual strikes
• The timing of your most recent strike is shown by the “t” symbol.
• When your timing is accurate, the “t” symbol will be shown at the center
of the scale.
• If you strike the pad too early, the “t” symbol will be shown to the left of
the scale.
• If you strike the pad too late, the “t” symbol will be shown to the right of
the scale.
 Criteria for increasing or decreasing the tempo
The drum module evaluates your timing every four measures. The more accu-
rate the timing of your drumming during those four measures, the more the
tempo will be raised. If your timing was not accurate, however, the tempo will
be lowered. Similarly, the more inaccurate, the more the tempo will drop.
