Follow Me
This exercise helps you identify different drums by their sound and memorize drum rhythms that use
the entire drum kit. In this exercise, the drum module will alternate between (1) a drum pattern and (2)
a metronome track of the same length during which you play the drum pattern yourself.
To use Follow Me:
1. Press the Pattern button and Tempo button at the
same time. Then press the 4 button.
2. Press the Start/Stop button.
3. Use the – / + buttons to select the drum pattern you
want to play in.
4. Press the Start/Stop button to begin.
5. When you hear the drum pattern, try to
identify which pads are being played and
when. During the metronome track that
follows, play the same drum pattern in time
with the metronome. For reference, the
Display will show the current beat. The six
LEDs of the 1-5/Variation buttons indicate
how accurate you are.
6. Press the Start/Stop button to stop.
Drum Mute
This exercise lets you silence specific parts of various drum patterns so that you can test different
drumming techniques as you fill in the gaps while playing along with the pattern.
To use Drum Mute:
1. Press the Pattern button and Tempo button at the
same time, and then press the 5 button.
2. Press the Start/Stop button.
3. Use the – / + buttons to select the drum pattern you want to play to.

sounds you want to mute:

• 2: Snare drum
• 3: Hi-hat
• 4: Toms
• 5: Crash and ride cymbals
• Variation: Percussion
5. Press the Start/Stop button to begin.
6. Play freely along with the drum pattern you hear. The drum pattern will not include any sounds
you muted in Step 4, allowing you to create your own part.
