This pamphlet describes the standard procedure for DTX540K/DTX520K assembly. After assembling the parts and connecting the cords as shown below, you will be ready to turn on the drum trigger module.

• For assembly, you will require four individual packages – an RS500 Rack System, a DTP520C Pad Set, a DTP700P Pad Set*, and a DTX500 Drum Trigger Module. (*: The DTX520K uses a DTP520P Pad Set instead.)

• This pamphlet describes how to attach the pads and drum trigger module to the RS500 Rack System. Before carrying out the procedures described below, ensure that you have correctly assembled the rack system as described in its assembly manual.

• Although this pamphlet uses illustrations of the DTX540K, the assembly procedures described also apply to the DTX520K.

• If this product is used with a Rack System or Cymbal Stand, make sure all bolts are tightened firmly. Also, when adjusting the height or angle, do not suddenly loosen the bolts. Loose bolts may result in the rack overturning or par ts dropping, causing injury.

• Always set the product on a flat and solid surface. Placement on a sloping, unstable surface or on steps may result in the product being unstable and subject to overturning.

• When setting up the product, please pay close attention to the handling and setting of cables. Carelessly placed cables may cause the user and others to trip and fall.

• Do not alter the product. Doing so may result in injury or damage/deterioration to the product.

• Do not sit or step on the rack. The rack may overturn or be damaged, resulting in injury.

* Specifications and descriptions in this owner’s manual are for information purposes only. Yamaha Corp. reserves the right to change or modify products or specifications at

any time without prior notice. Since specifications, equipment or options may not be the same in every locale, please check with your Yamaha dealer.

• Be careful around pipe ends, inside the pipe and screw ends. Metal shavings, etc. may injure your fingers.

• Do not put your hands or feet under the foot pedal or foot switch. They may be pinched, resulting in injury.

• Do not attach acoustic drums to the electronic drum rack. Clamps may be damaged and drums may drop, causing injury.

NOTICE

• Make sure you hold onto the plug, not the cable, when connecting or disconnecting the cable. Also, never place any heavy or sharp objects on the cable. Applying excessive force to the cable may result in damage to the cable, such as the wires being severed, etc.

• Do not step on or place heavy objects on the product. It may result in damage.

• Do not use or keep the product in places with extremely high temperature (places in direct sunlight, close to a heater, in a closed car, etc.) or high humidity (bathroom, outside on a rainy day, etc.). Doing so may result in deformation, discoloration, damage or deterioration.

• When cleaning the product, do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol as it may result in discoloration or deformation. Please wipe with a soft cloth or a damp cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly. If the product is soiled or sticky, use a neutral detergent on a cloth then wipe with a damp cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly to remove any remaining detergent. Also pay close attention so as not to let the water and detergent come into contact with the cushions used in the product; doing so may result in deterioration.

Mounting snare and tom pads

 Mounting the snare pad

1. Attach the clamp bolt to the snare pad and provi-

sionally tighten (by 5 or 6 turns).

2. Mount the snare pad on the rack’s clamp rod. As

shown below, ensure that the rod section is fully inserted into the pad’s mounting hole, and then fully tighten the clamp bolt.

3. If necessary, use clamp bolts A to E to adjust the

height and angle of the snare pad. When doing so, be sure to adjust one bolt at a time (i.e., loosen a bolt, adjust the pad, and then retighten before loosening another).

 Mounting the tom pad

1. As with the snare pad, attach the clamp bolt to each

of the three tom pads and provisionally tighten (by 5 or 6 turns).

2. Mount the three tom pads on the rack’s clamp rods.

As shown below, ensure that the rod section is fully inserted into each pad’s mounting hole, and then fully tighten the clamp bolt.

3. If necessary, use clamp bolts A to D to adjust the

height and angle of any of the pads. When doing so, be sure to adjust one bolt at a time (i.e., loosen a bolt, adjust the pad, and then retighten before loosening another).

Mounting the drum trigger module, cymbal pads, and hi-hat pad

 Mounting the drum trigger module

1. Attach the module stand (provided) to the underside

of the drum trigger module using the module stand fastening screws.

2. Place the module stand inside the holder clamp and

tighten the clamp bolt to secure in position.

 Mounting the cymbal pads

1. Using a tuning key, loosen the stopper’s key bolt.

2. Remove the wing nut, the two felt pads, and the bolt

cover from the cymbal holder.

3. Place the stopper on the cymbal holder.

* If the key bolt was not sufficiently loosened in

Step 1 above, it may not be possible to pass the stopper over the cymbal holder’s shaft. In such a case, loosen the key bolt as much as possible without removing it.

4. Replace the bolt cover.

* When assembling the bolt cover, turn until it no

longer rotates.

5. Secure the stopper in place. With the stopper mak-

ing full contact with the bottom surface of the bolt cover, tighten the stopper’s key bolt using a tuning key.

6. Place one of the felt pads removed in Step 2 on the

cymbal holder.

7. Mount the pad unit on the cymbal stand. Lower the

pad unit into place with the cymbal holder’s shaft passing through the central hole of the cup section. When mounted, the stopper’s pin should rest inside the pad unit’s smaller hole.

* If you were to play a cymbal pad without the stop-

per’s pin positioned inside the smaller hole, the pad could rotate, causing the cable to be pulled out. It is very important, therefore, to ensure that the stopper is secured as described in Step 5 above.

8. Assemble the felt pad that came with your pad unit.

* The second felt pad removed from the cymbal

holder in Step 2 above is not required for assembly of your pad unit.

9. Tighten the wing nut to secure the pad unit to the

cymbal holder.

Assembling the kick pad

1. If a drum mat (sold separately) is not available, lay a sheet of cardboard on the

floor to protect it from scratching.

2. Remove the wing bolts, spring washers, and washers from the kick pad frame,

and line up each set nearby in the order in which it was removed.

3. Join the base section to the frame as shown right, and then secure it in place by

assembling the wing bolts, spring washers, and washers removed in the previous step from the base side.

NOTICE

1. Insert the 9-channel snake cable’s straight plugs into the drum trigger module’s

trigger input jacks ([q SNARE] to [i KICK/o] and [HI-HAT CONTROL]).

• If you are using the standard setup, the stickers on each of the snake cable’s plugs will indicate the name of the corresponding pad.

2. Plug the 9-channel snake cable’s L-shaped plugs into the correct pads.

3. In the case of snare and tom pads, wrap the cables around the cable clips to pre-

vent them from being pulled out.

Excessive bending can damage the pad cables. Ensure, therefore, that these cables are not bent at an extreme angle when wrapped around the clips.
