Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other
normal instrument main voice, for example, all keys produce the sound of the same violin, only at
different pitches. If you select a drum kit as the main voice, however, each key produces the sound
of a different drum or percussion instrument.
The sound effects are included in the drum kit voice group (voice numbers 138 and 139). When
either of these voices are selected you will be able to play a range of sound effects on the keyboard.
