Type

Determines the rudiment type.

• Flam plays two hits very close together.

• Drag plays three hits very close together.

• Ruff plays four hits very close together.

• Roll continually plays drum hits to produce a sustaining drum sound.

• Buzz emulates the effect of a drummer pressing the stick into the drum while hitting it. The stick bounces on the drum, producing multiple hits that sound like a decaying drum roll.

For Flam, Drag, Ruff, and Roll, the following parameters are available:

Sync

Synchronizes the hits to the project tempo. The time span between the hits is set in fractions of beats.
