Playing the Game

The DD-35 features a variety of songs specically designed to be played with the fun and educational Game function. Select one of these special songs (05 - 99) and play one of the three game types along with them and see how well you can keep rhythm with the song.
Game q..In this game type, you dont need to worry about hitting the right pad any pad will do. Just try to play the pad in time with the rhythm and the ashing lights. Game w..In this game type a step up from Game 1 youll need to play the specic pads in rhythm as they light. If your timing is off or you hit the wrong pad, the pad will not sound. Game e..In this game type (a step up from Game 2) you can play along with the song as you like here everything sounds just as you play it. However, if you miss a beat or hit the wrong pad, the evaluation function will let you know!
* The DD-35 features a variety of lesson songs (5 - 59 and 65 - 94), specially designed for learning and practicing purposes. Youll hear the DD-35 announce Ready! and the teachers model performance will play back. When the DD-35 announces Go, play the rhythm yourself. This is an exceptionally easy and fun way to master the drums. Song numbers 60 - 64 are for playing a single, complete song. This is an excellent way to develop your timing and work on your ability to keep the rhythm for the length of an entire song. The pads light to guide you through the song try to hit each pad as it lights, and master the rhythm. The DD-35 also features special game songs (95 - 99). These arcade game-like songs challenge you to hit the pads as soon as they light without providing a rhythmic guide for you to follow. Try them out and see how fast your response is.
DD-35 has a built-in evaluation function that monitors your playing, and just like a real teacher, it tells you how well you performed in each game.
