This kit faithfully simulates an instrument called a waterphone, which is also used to produce sound effects for movies.

and slap (M3) to add accents.

For even more versatility, play a roll using the S8 pad, and use the M1 pad to add the surdo.

26

Pot Drum

pads and D-BEAM to vary the nuances produced when playing the hole.

modify.

28

Tape Echo

A drum kit suitable for dub, that makes effective use of tape echo.

playing beats.

them.

29

Adventure

A sound effect kit that combines melodic percussion with sounds that give the impression of a deep forest.

By making good use of the effects, you can produce the sensation that the sounds of animals are heard from various

you can enjoy playing along with this as background.
