■ ■ 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
* A variety of commercially available beaters
can be used, including felt, plastic, or
wood types.
However if a felt beater is used, the felt
may leave marks on the striking surface.
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.

ties around the pipes.
RDB
* Do not connect the RDB cable (for
extension). Leave the cap in place,
and fasten the cable so that it will
not hinder your performance.
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 "Setting the Pad Sensitivity [F2] (BASIC)" in the owner's
manual.
Install the kick pedal
securely.
