*This package does not include a kick pedal or beater. A variety of commercially available beaters can be used, including felt, plastic, or wood types.
Main Features
The Strike Feel of an Acoustic Kick Drum in a Compact Size
A strike surface combining dedicated mesh material with cushion material provides the same strike feel as an acoustic drum, while allowing a compact design.
Twin Pedal Support
In spite of its compact size, the strike surface is large enough to accommodate twin pedal setups.
High Compatibility with Commercially-Available Kick Pedals
The pedal mounting plate has an adjustable angle to accommodate differences in the attachment mechanism and position of various kick pedals. You can use the commerciallyavailable pedal of your choice.
Quiet Impact
A rubber cover with a proprietary structure is combined with a dedicated cushion, providing a high degree of sound absorption that is remarkable for a kick drum pad.

*Do not subject the strike surface to any force other than performance, and do not allow foreign objects to get inside it. Doing so will cause malfunction or damage.
Setup
Attaching the Kick Pedal
1. Attach the kick pedal.
Position the beater so that it strikes the center of the head, then secure the kick pedal and KD-10 firmly in place.
* Take care not to pinch your fingers.
Beater
Install the kick pedal securely.
2.Step on the kick pedal and make sure that it’s properly attached and in a stable position.
Check to make sure that the base of the KD-10 and the kick pedal both make contact with the floor.
Check to be sure they’re making contact with the floor
When Using a Twin Pedal
Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as shown in the figure.
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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
•When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside
the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to
use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
•Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.
