Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this pad serve as a ride or hi-hat? It's the usual replacement for the crash pad. It can function in other positions depending on the module's assignment, but the hi-hat requires its own dedicated pedal/controller.
• Does the choke need power? No. The choke function is built into the pad itself.
• What cable do I use to add it as an extra cymbal? Use a 6.35mm TRS cable for the Crash 2 input on the Nitro Max module.
