The PSR-175/ 172 also features special Drum Kit voices -- #088 (with Echo) and #100 -- that let you play a variety of drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to the Drum Kit Voice Chart below. ) Icons representing each sound are printed above the keyboard, conveniently indicating which sounds are played from which keys.
