  • Page 7: Connecting To The Sound Module

    • Make sure that KD-120 does not touch the drum stand or the other pads. • The appropriate Trigger Type settings need to be made for the percussion sound module.

  • Page 8: Head Adjustment

    Make sure that the head tension is even, and repeat steps 5 and 6 if you wish to make further adjustments. * On the KD-120, adjusting the head tension affects only the head response, and does not change the pitch of the sound as it would on an acoustic drum. To adjust the pitch, edit the sound parameters of the TD-20 or TD-12.
