NOTE

* When you operate the kick pedal or the hi-hat control pedal, please be careful not to get your  ngers pinched between the movable

part and the unit. In places where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.

* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn o all the units before

making any connections.

* Pass the cord from the AC adaptor through the cable holder, so it is held in place against the stand. This way,

even if someone accidentally tugs on the cord, you won’t have to worry about the plug getting pulled out, which would cause a sudden loss of power. And, you can also prevent the application of an undue amount of force to the AC adaptor’s connector.

NOTE

* Take care not to pinch your  ngers.

* If you’re not using a commercially available kick pedal, make the pedal plate firmly

contact the  oor without any gap.

Adjust the position of the beater so

that it strikes the center of the kick pad

striking surface, and  rmly fasten the

kick pedal and kick pad.

Install the kick pedal securely.

Tilt it for ward slightly.

Allow for 3– 6 cm (1-3/16”–2-3/8”) of space between tom 1 and tom 2.

Position so there is 12–15 cm (4-3/4”–6”) of space between the snare and tom.

The hi-hat should be placed about 20 cm (7-7/8”) higher than the snare.

You can attach your drum key to the cable holder.

Cable holder

Place directly below the hi -hat.

* To prevent damage to your  oor or carpet, and to ensure a stable setup, we recommend that you use a separately sold drum mat (TDM

series).

The snare and tom 3 should be at the same height.

Place at a slightly lower position than the crash cymbal.

The tom 1 and tom 2 should be at the same height.

Adjust the angles so that you can perform comfortably.

8Adjust the hi-hat control pedal

Using the anchor bolts

If you’re using this unit on a drum mat (TDM series) or on carpet, extending the anchor bolts will secure the unit in place, making it easier for you to perform.

When using on the drum mat or carpet

* When used on  ooring, the anchor bolts may damage the  oor.

* The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.

When using on the  oor

By adjusting the spring

You can lighten the feeling by removing either the left or the right spring.

* Take care not to pinch your  nger when

removing or installing a spring.

Detach upper hook. To reinstall the spring, attach the upper hook  rst.

Detach lower hook .

Adjusting the feeling will change the amount of noise/vibration

Be aware that removing a spring will increase the noise/vibration when performing.
