* The performance of the RT-Series can be affected by elements such as the type of drum being used, the tuning and use of a
mute. For best performance, refer to your sound module’s Owner’s Manual and set the trigger parameters accordingly.
* Be sure to mute the bass and snare drum (toms can also be muted if external vibrations are picked up).

A Better Way to Practice
Individual rhythm practice can be monotonous and boring. But with the RM-2 's
Rhythm Coach function, you can practice using 11 different exercises designed to
improve timing, speed and endurance. With the RM-2, your practice sessions become
more effective and fun.
Rhythmic Notes : Rhythmic Notes is an excellent warm up exercise that also teaches note values. In
this mode, the metronome plays through a series of beat divisions every two measures----starting with half
notes, up to 16th-note triplets, and back down.
START
RM-2
Time Check : Time Check mode is designed to develop timing
skills by learning to play exactly with the beat of the metronome.
Beats played on the pad are measured against the timing of the
metronome using a visual display for feedback.
