Pressing the hi-hat pedal opens and closes it.
Tom Toms
These are usually mounted on the bass drum, or separate stands.
Floor Tom (Tom 3)
Sometimes called a bass tom, it either stands on it’s own legs or is
mounted on a stand.
Ride Cymbal
Usually mounted on the right side of the kit, the ride cymbal is
principle elements in keeping time.

2 headphones can be used by using the OUTPUT jack and the headphone jack at the same time. Perfect for drum lessons!
Turning On the Power
Once connections have been made (p. 10), turn on the power to all
connected devices in the order as specified below. Doing otherwise
raises the risk of damage or malfunction to the connected devices.
fig.powerOn
1.
Make sure that the HD-1s [VOLUME] knob, and that of
any connected amp, is set to the minimum level.
2.
Turn on the HD-1.
3.
Turn on the power of the connected amp/speaker.
4.
Then raise the volume of both to get the sound level
required.
* As there is a built-in protection circuit, it takes a few seconds
before the HD-1 is ready to play.
11
Adjusting the Head Tension on the Snare
Before playing the snare pad, you must tighten the
head. If it is too loose, problems such as faulty
triggering may occur.
1.
Use the included drum key, and tighten each tuning bolt
slightly, in the order shown in the diagram. This
guarantees even tension and a correct head response.
fig.Adjust-e
12
Loosen Tighten
2.
While hitting the pad, make final adjustments to have
the best feel and response from the head.

• Adjusting the tension of the snare head will not change the
sound as it would on an acoustic drum.
• Head tuning should be checked on a regular basis, as constant
playing may slacken the tension.
• Synthetic rubber is used on the pads and cymbals. Should the
smell of rubber bother you, make sure there is good air
circulation in the room. NEVER place the HD-1 near a heater or
source of high temperature.
The drum key can be
conveniently mounted on the
3
hook of the arm pipe.
Playing the Kit
Holding the Sticks
The most common way to hold the sticks is called the “matched grip”
as shown in the photos below.
fig.holdingStick
(Left hand)
(Right hand)
Playing the Cymbal Pads
Play ONLY on the rubber surface. Playing on the plastic part will
produce sound, but you can damage the pad.
fig.SymbalShot-e
Pad Face

Selecting a Kit
A drum kit consists of sounds assigned to each pad. In some cases,
the sound will change depending upon your playing dynamics.
1.
Buttons from [ ] through [ ]
Pressing these buttons will call up different kits.
2.
Variation [ ]
When you press this button, you can access the variation kits.
Example:
Play the kit [ ] (Accorstic).
Press [ ] and you play the variation kit (Jazz).
14
Before playing back a pattern, lower the volume of the HD-1. The
volume of these patterns may be louder than when you play the kit
normally, and you do not want to risk damage to your ears or connected
equipment.
Also, when patterns are playing, hitting the pads will not produce
sound.
1.
Press and hold one of the [ ]–[ ] buttons for a few
seconds.
A pattern using this current kit will play.
If you press the [ ] button, the pattern for that variation kit will
play.
You can change the tempo of the pattern by adjusting the
[TEMPO] knob.
Each pattern will play at it’s default tempo (set at the factory).
To change the tempo of the pattern, adjust the TEMPO knob AFTER
playback has started.
2.
Playback will stop if you press any one of the kit buttons
during playback.

with change together.
1.

3.
When satisfied, release [ ].
The above settings are memorised by the HD-1, even if the power
is turned off.
Replacing a Pad
Replacing the Snare Head
If it’s necessary to replace the head on the snare, follow these
instructions:
Optional replacement head: MH-8 Mesh Head
fig.replace-snare-e
Hoop’s Rubber
Portion
The sensor and cushion under the head are very sensitive. Put no
pressure on these parts as it may disrupt the proper functioning of
the pad.
Tuning Bolt
Hoop
Head
Loosen
Tighten
Drum Key
Sensor
Shell
1.
Remove all the tuning bolts.
2.
Remove the hoop.
3.
Take off the old head.
4.
Place the new head on the shell.
5.
Mount the hoop.
6.
Re-attatch the tuning bolds and adjust the tension (p.
12).
• Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will
make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause
malfunctions.
• Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor, changes
in room temperature may affect the sensitivity of the sensor.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a
preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of
time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white
stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product
testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of
the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.

Detaching/Mounting a Tom Pad
Please remember that the pads designed for the HD-1 will not fit on
any other brand of stand.
Detaching a Tom Pad
1.
Unplug the tom and cymbal cables.
fig.replace-tam3-j
2.
Use a drum key to remove bolt
securing the cymbal rod from
the pipe.
fig.replace-tam1-j
3.
Remove the plastic end-cap
from the pipe.
* Do not insert your finger into the
pipe while the cap is removed.

4.
Use a drum key to loosen the
bolt securing the pad to the
pipe.

5.
Remove the tom pad from the
pipe.
Mounting a Tom Pad
This is basically a reverse operation of the detaching process. But
when re-fitting the pads to the pipes, be careful to align the grooves
in the pipe with the triangular protrusions of the pad. The pads can
be fitted to three pitch(angle) positions.

Troubleshooting
If you suspect a malfunction, please read this page first.
Power does not turn on
AC adaptor is connected properly? (p. 10)
No sound
• Check the volume knob.
• Are all pad cables connected correctly?
If using an amp/audio system
• Volume settings and input/output connections are correct?
• If using headphones, are they correctly connected to the
headphones or OUTPUT jack?
Sound is too soft/loud when playing
Check the sensitivity adjustments.
Double triggering occurs
• Check the bolts that secure the tom pads to the pipe.
• Be sure no cables are touching the pads.
• Use cable ties to secure any excess slack.
• Verify that the cymbal pad movement does not pull on the
cable.
No Sound from external audio source
connected to the MIX IN jack
• If you are using a connection cable that contains a resistor, this
will reduce the volume. Use a cable with no resistor.
• Faulty cable? If so, replace it.
• Volume setting is correct on the connected audio source?
• Amp or audio system settings and connections are correct?
Sound is distorted in headphones
• Adjust the volume.
• Headphones are working correctly?
To check them, connect them to another audio source to verify.
Output sound is distorted
Lower the volume on the HD-1.
Or, if the connected amp has an input level adjustment, adjust
accordingly.
