Drum Mute
The Drum Mute training features 30 patterns for you
to practice, ranging from easy to hard. In this mode,
the numbered buttons [1-5] and the [VARIATION]
button represent one part or element of the drum
kit. These buttons allow you to activate or deactivate
the corresponding drum part, which means you
will hear this particular part or not. Please refer to
the table below for the correspondence between
buttons and drum part. A drum part is muted when
its corresponding LED is lit up.
With these settings, you can play freely in each
pattern. We have also provided you with a drum
score manual to follow.
