Detailed Explanation Of Each Part
■ KD-9 (Kick)
* Use a commercially available kick pedal.
Attach the kick pedal.
01
Position the beater so that it strikes
the center of the head, then secure the
kick pedal and KD-9 firmly in place.
Beater
Adjusting the Anchor Bolts.
03
When using the kick pedal on a carpet or on a
drum mat (TDM series), the slip-prevention tape
that's on the base should prevent the KD-9 from
moving around.
However, if that's not enough to keep the KD-9
in a fixed position, you can adjust things so that
the tips of the anchor bolts protrude through the
base. That should keep it in place and make it
easier for you to play.
Setup Guide
As soon as you open the package, check to see that all items are included. If anything is missing, please contact your dealer.

* Use cable ties to fasten
the cables at the circled
locations " " so that they
do not interfere with your
performance.
Make sure to wrap the cable
ties around the pipes.
When Using a Twin Pedal
Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as
shown in the figure at left. If one of the beater is further away from the
center than the other, the sound from the further beater will be lower
in volume, or will not sound as desired.
Using a twin pedal will result in lower sensitivity as compared to when
a single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module.
For details, see "Editing the pad settings (PAD SETTINGS)" in the
owner's manual.
Install the kick pedal
securely.
