Quick Start
Playing with Brushes
With the TD-8, you can “swish” or “sweep” using brushes with the PD-80,
PD-80R, PD-100, or PD-120 connected to TRIGGER INPUT 3 (SNARE).
Use ONLY nylon brushes. Not only can metal brushes damage the
head, but the brush tips present a great danger of piercing and
snagging the fine mesh of the head itself.
When playing with brushes, select a drum kit that is intended for brush
playing. These kits are indicated by the word “BRUSH” in the upper part of
the display.
