For a left-handed setup

The setup described in this guide is for right-handed players. To set up for a left-handed player, reattach the components as follows.

5 Exchange curved pipes (L) and (R), and straight pipes (L) and (R), left-for-right.

5 Attach the mount holder (L) to the curved pipe (L).

5 Attach holder (C) and the snare pipe to the right side.

5 Exchange the pads and cymbals with their attachment mounts left-for-right.

5 Exchange the drum sound module with its sound module mount left-for-right.

After exchanging the curved pipes, attach the holders so that the marks on the pipes are visible through the gaps of the holders.

Remove the caps, remove holder (C) and the snare pipe, and reattach them to the right side.

Detailed explanation of each part

9 KD-10 (Kick)

Attach the kick pedal.

Position the beater so that it strikes the center of the head, then secure the kick pedal and KD-10 rmly in place.

* 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.

If you’re using this unit on a V-Drums mat, on a noise eater (NE-10), or on carpet, extending the anchor bolts will secure the unit in place.

However, if that’s not enough to keep the KD-10 in a xed 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.

Beater

Install the kick pedal securely.

When using on the V-Drums mat, noise eater, or carpet

When Using a Twin Pedal

Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as shown in the gure below. 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.

If you’re using twin pedals, the sensitivity will be lower than when a single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module.

For details, refer to the “TD-07 Owner’s Manual.”

NOTE

5 When used on ooring, the anchor bolts

may damage the oor. Adjust the anchor bolts correctly.

5 The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp.

When using on the oor

Step on the kick pedal and make sure that it’s properly attached and

1. Use the drum key to adjust each tuning bolt a little at a time, moving in

order from one side to the opposite side as shown in the illustration.

2. Fine-tune the adjustment while continuing to check the pad feel and

response.

* Do not rmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make it

impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause malfunctions.

Use the drum key to adjust each tuning bolt a little at a time,

The appropriate amount of tension is one that will provide approximately the same striking response as on an acoustic drum.

2. Make minor adjustments to the tightness as necessary.

* Depending on how the drums are set up and played, some pads might be triggered unintentionally

or one of the pads might not respond when two pads are struck at the same time. In this case, press the [ ] (SETUP) button on the sound module, select “PAD,” select “ADVANCED,” and adjust the “XtlkCancel” parameter. For details, refer to “TD-07 Owner’s Manual.”
