Precautions:
ƒ
If the sound of the drums becomes distorted, the batteries may need to be replaced.
We recommend replacing worn batteries as soon as possible.
ƒ
When using the included power adapter, DISCOVER DRUMS will use that as the power source rather than using the
power of any installed batteries.
ƒ
Always be sure batteries are inserted with the positive (+) and negative (-) poles positioned correctly.
ƒ
Use batteries of the same type. Do not use different types of batteries together at once.
ƒ
When not in use for long periods of time, remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the
liquid from inside the battery compartment.
ƒ
Do not heat, disassemble, or dispose of batteries by throwing them into a fire.

USING DISCOVER DRUMS
PLAYING THE DEMO SONG
The included demo song showcases the features and functions of DISCOVER DRUMS.
1.
Press DEMO. The demo song will start to play.
2.
Strike the drum pads. To play the same drum pattern as the song, watch the
screen as bars descend in four columns to the horizontal line at the bottom. When
a bar passes the line, strike the corresponding pad. (You can also watch the lights
under the pads and hit the pads as they light up instead.)
Tip: To hear just the drums, press the CHORD button to turn off the background
music. You can press it again to turn it back on. This is useful if you are trying to
figure out the drum pattern by itself.
3.
You can adjust the volume of the song and drum pads by pressing
MAIN VOLUME and rotating the DIAL. You can also adjust the
volume of the song alone (to balance it with your own performance
on the drum pads) by pressing RHYTHM VOLUME and rotating
the DIAL.
4.
To stop the demo song, press DEMO again.
PLAYING RHYTHMS
DISCOVER DRUMS comes with 50 different rhythms that you can play to.

will be displayed on the screen.

song, watch the screen as bars descend in four columns to the
horizontal line at the bottom. When a bar passes the line, strike
the corresponding pad. (You can also watch the lights under the
pads and hit the pads as they light up instead.)
Tip: To hear just the drums, press the CHORD button to turn off
the background music. You can press it again to turn it back on.
This is useful if you are trying to figure out the drum pattern by itself.
5.
You can adjust the volume of the song and drum pads by pressing
MAIN VOLUME and rotating the DIAL. You can also adjust the
volume of the song alone (to balance it with your own performance
on the drum pads) by pressing RHYTHM VOLUME and rotating
the DIAL.
6.

2
ADJUSTING THE TEMPO
You can set the tempo of a Rhythm from 40 to 250 BPM (beats per minute). To set the tempo:
1.
Press TEMPO / TAP. The current tempo will be displayed on the
screen.
2.
Rotate the DIAL to adjust the tempo. (You can also strike any
pad four times at the desired tempo, and the current Rhythm will
start to play at that tempo.)
ASSIGNING SOUNDS TO THE PADS
DISCOVER DRUMS has a total of 40 different percussion sounds and 10 voice sounds that you can assign
independently to the drum pads for a more varied performance. To assign these sounds to the pads:
1.
Press PAD ASSIGN.
2.
Strike a pad. You will hear that pad's current sound (whose
number will also be displayed on the screen).
3.
Rotate the DIAL to select a sound. You can preview the sound by striking the pad.
(Note: After each strike, the number will increase by one. This can be useful if you
want to strike the pad repeatedly to play through all the available sounds.)
4.
When you have selected the sound you want to use for that pad, either repeat Steps 2
and 3 for other pads, or press PAD ASSIGN to exit.

PLAYING THE GAME
DISCOVER DRUMS contains a built-in Game Mode so you can learn to play different rhythms by following
cues on the screen.
As a Rhythm plays, bars will descend in four columns from the top to the bottom of the screen where there is
a horizontal line. When the bar passes that line, strike the corresponding pad (the pad numbers are above
each column). You will receive points for each correct hit.
To start and play a game:
1.
Press the GAME button to enter Game Mode. The "Game" indicator will appear on
the upper right corner of the screen.
2.
Rotate the DIAL to select a Rhythm to play along to. The
difficulty level of each rhythm is indicated by the number of stars
in the upper right corner of the screen: one star means "easy,"
two is "medium," and three is "hard."
3.
Press START / STOP to start the game. Watch the screen as
the bars descend in four columns to the horizontal line at the
bottom. When a bar passes the line, strike the corresponding
pad.
4.
When complete, the game will stop automatically and display your score, and a
voice will read it aloud. After three seconds, the game will restart automatically.
Press START / STOP to stop the game at anytime.
5.
Press GAME to exit Game Mode.
