Adjusting the Anchor Bolts
03
When using the kick pedal on a carpet or on
a drum mat (TDM series), the slip-prevention
tape that’s on the base should prevent the
KD-9 from moving around.
However, if that’s not enough to keep the
KD-9 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.
* Use a commercially available kick pedal.
When Using a Twin Pedal
Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of
the pad as shown in the gure at left. 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. For details, see
“Editing the pad settings [F2] (BASIC)” in the owner’s manual.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place
it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside
an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to
temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, 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 allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to
remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such
objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aect
the nish.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft,
dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened
with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with
a soft, dry cloth.
(KD-9)
As routine maintenance, you should wipe the striking
surface using a dry, soft cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/
or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
output jacks. Rough handling can lead to malfunc-
tions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp
the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This
way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the
cable’s internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep
the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may
prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be
concerned about those around you.
• This instrument is designed to minimize the
extraneous sounds produced when it’s played.
However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted
through oors and walls to a greater degree than
expected, take care not to allow these sounds to
become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when
using headphones.
• When you need to transport the unit, package it
in the box (including padding) that it came in, if
possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent
packaging materials.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to
this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound
level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For
information on cable specications, contact the
manufacturer of the cable.
For EU Countries
• 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 af-
fect the performance or functionality of the product,
and you may continue using it with condence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the
pad, but this will not aect the Pad’s function.
• The hi-hat stand is supported by means of a tripod.
When installing the hi-hat, make sure the legs of
the tripod are opened wide enough to keep the
equipment from falling over.
• Do not remove the special VH-11 clutch from the
hi-hat or disassemble the clutch.
• When not using the hi-hat for extended periods,
store the hi-hat in the open position to prevent
placing any stress on the motion sensor unit.
• High-precision sensors are located at the portion of
the motion sensor unit indicated by the arrow in the
left gure below. Take care not to subject this area to
excessive shock, and do not allow any foreign objects
to enter any gaps.
• Over long periods of use, the portion of the motion
sensor unit that comes into contact with the hi-hat
(the damper) may become worn at the points
indicated by the arrows in the right gure above.
Such damper wear may prevent proper adjustment
of the oset and may cause the hi-hat to swing
with an unnatural motion. If this occurs, replace
the damper. For more information on replacing the
damper, contact Roland Service.
• In the interest of product improvement, the specica-
tions and/or appearance of this unit are subject to
change without prior notice.
