I Setting Up

(RHP80/100/120)

Insert the Tom Holder (6-sided), on a rack stand

or tom stand, into the Rod Clamp attached to

the Pad, and tighten the Clamp Bolt firmly.

The snare drum pad can setup on a snare

drum stand (YAMAHA: SS642, etc.) in the

same manner as a normal snare drum.

NOTE : When attaching the Real Head Pads to a rack

system, we recommend that either the YAMAHA

Rack System RS100 or RS95 be used. Using a

ball clamp type tom holder like the RS100

allows the attachment of large pads like the

RHP120. A cylinder type tom holder like the

RS95 allows the attachment of lighter pads up

to the RHP80. When a large pad such as the

RHP100/120 is attached to the RS95, we

recommend that the tom holder TPCL100

(optional) be used. The RS60 and RS80 may

not provide adequate support for the Real Head

Pads. If you already own the RS80 rack

I Connections

Use the supplied stereo phone cable to connect the pad's output jack to the input (SNARE,

TOM1, etc.) of the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS. Connect the cable's L-shaped plug to the pad.

NOTE : The RHP80/100/120/120SD Real Head Pads are dual trigger type electronic drum pads. Both the pad (the

drum head section) and the rim (the hoop section around the head that is used for rim shots) are individually

equipped with trigger sensors. A separate sound can be assigned to the rim to allow for rim shots *.

* Only the following inputs can be used.

DTXTREME: INPUT 1-8, 9/10-15/16

DTX: INPUT 9/10, 11/12

DTXPRESS: INPUT 9/10

Since other INPUTS are designed for use with pad trigger/rim switch

type pads (TP-80S, etc.), only the pad will be able to produce sound

when a Real Head Pad is connected.

G When the pad is hit, the sound assigned to the rim is also produced, or

vice versa (cross talk).

mitted through the shell, etc. and picked up by the sensor

located in the rim which in turn causes the sound assigned

to the rim to be produced. Use the previously explained

Output LEVEL Adjustment to set the level to a proper level.

❇ If the cross talk continues even after you have tried the solutions listed above, use the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS

"Specified Rejection" function to control the problem (can be used on the following channels DTXTREME: INPUTS 9/

10-15/16, DTX: INPUTS 9/10, 11/12, DTXPRESS: INPUT 9/10). Refer to the Owner's Manual supplied with the

DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS for more information.

G When mounted on the rack and a pad is hit, a sound that is assigned to

another pad is also produced (cross talk).

move about when the pad is hit. Vibrations are then trans-

sounds being produced. Please make sure that the rack

❇ If the cross talk continues between other pads, even after you have tried the solutions listed above, use the

DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS "Specified Rejection" function to control the problem. Refer to the Owner's Manual

supplied with the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS for more information.

G When a rim shot is played, a metallic noise is produced.

be produced when a rim shot is played.

Use the tuning key to adjust head tension. (Refer to the

previous "Setting Up" section.)

For more information on the problems listed above and other problems, please refer to the "Owner's Manual" supplied with

the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESSS. If you can not solve the problem on your own, please contact the dealer from whom you

purchased the device.

system, adding the VK80 Rack Reinforcement

Kit (optional) will increase the strength of the

rack to that of the RS95.

NOTE : Drum head tension can be adjusted by

tightening or loosening the tuning bolts on the

hoop with a tuning key.However, there will be

no change in the tone produced by the

DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS, etc.

: Make sure the pads are properly setup on the

rack or stand. If the clamp bolts, etc. are not

tightened sufficiently, the pad may fall off

resulting in injury. Also, if the rack or stand is

not setup on a flat surface, the rack or stand

may overturn resulting in injury.

NOTE : Please make sure that head tension is even all

the way around the head. Uneven tension may

produce wrinkles, which may shorten the life of

the drum head.

NOTE : Make sure the drum head is tightened within a

proper range. Over tightening may result in

damage to the drum head, shell, etc. An overly

loosened head may result in a shorter life of

the drum head, cushion, or noise. Also, when

the head is too loose a metallic noise may

occur when playing rim shots, likewise, the

output from the rim sensor may be reduced and

the sound produced by the DTXTREME/DTX/

DTXPRESS may be reduced or not sound at

all when playing rim shots. The head may also

become loose over time, so occasionally

retighten the head.

What to check.

I Output Level (LEVEL) Adjustment

Controls the trigger output level produced by the Real Head Pads. Output produced by either the

pad section (the drum head section) or rim section (rim shot) can be controlled individually. Turn

the LEVEL adjustment knob to the right (+) to increase the level. Turn to the left (-) to decrease

the level. Adjust the level according to the amount of strength you use when playing the pad and

rim, the required dynamic range, or specific needs regarding the devices that you use.

NOTE : When the Real Head Pad is used with the DTXTREME/DTX/

DTXPRESS, the value on the Input Level display, found in the

Trigger Edit Mode's [PAD GAIN] page, should be set to a value

somewhere between 90% and 95% when the pad is struck at ff (the

rim should be set the same for rim shots). For more information,

please refer to the "Owner's Manual" supplied with your DTXTREME/

DTX/DTXPRESS.

If the Output LEVEL is set too high, the dynamic range may be

reduced, or problems such as double triggers (when a single stroke

produces multiply triggered sounds), and cross talk (hitting the pad

causes the sound assigned to the rim to be produced or vice versa)

may occur.

: Do not put excessive pressure on the level adjustment knob, it may

result in damage.

G About Rim Shot Sensitivity

The locations of the RHP80/100/120/120SD's trigger sensors are shown in the illustration.

The highest sensitivity can be found in the direct vicinity of the sensor and will decrease as

you move away from the sensor. If you are going to use rim shots, we recommend that the

area of highest sensitivity be placed in an optimum position when setting up the pad.

To Increase the Sound Volume

To change the volume of the sound assigned to individual pads when the Real Head Pads are used

with the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS, first adjust the Output LEVEL as described previously,

then use the (VOICE) EDIT Mode to set the volume on the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS. Please

refer to the "Owner's Manual" supplied with your DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS.
