Compact Kick Trigger

The KT-KP1 "KICK PAD" compact kick trigger is specially made to work with the KAT KTMP1 Multipad via a bass
drum pedal. The unit also works great with all common piezo input trigger interfaces and drum modules with a
piezo trigger input. It extends the sound triggering capability of the KTMP1 by providing bass drum operation
using this unit along with a standard bass drum pedal.

Replace the beater on your kick pedal (sold separately) with the Kick Pad's inverted "Silent Strike" beater. Insert the

1.
inverted beater up

Attach your kick pedal to the Kick Pad in the same way you would attach it to a wood bass drum hoop. (Note: It is

2.
normal for there to be a space between the bottom of the Kick Pad unit and the floor).

Place the pedal on the floor where you would normally place your kick drum pedal.

3.

Using the provided cable, or any standard 1/4" cable, attach the Kick Pad's "To Module" jack to your Kat Multipad or

4.
drum modules kick input.

Adjust the Kick Pad's metal spikes as needed to limit floor movement. Be careful not to damage floor surfaces as the

5.
metal spikes can leave scratches or holes on some floors.

Use the included grip tape if necessary to help avoid floor movement. Again be careful not to damage the floor or

6

carpet surface, as this grip tape can form a very tight surface grip.

Optional: Using a standard 1/4" cable, connect the Kick Pad's LINK jack to the LINK jack of a second Kick Pad (sold

7.
separately). This allows you to use a double-bass setup

through the pedals beater holder instead of down through it, as you would conventionally do.
