3 .
Thread the string through the belt on each pillar of
the three-pillar stand, and tie a string into a loop
(three places) .
4 .
Hook the string loops onto the rods of the TAIKO-1, as
shown in the illustration .
Place the pad so the protrusions on the pad face towards you.
Each string loop should hook onto two rods.
5 .
Attach the sound module .
Attach the sound module so that it is a little to the right from the
center, making the buttons easier to operate.
View from the front (player’s side)
Connect the pad and sound module with the included trigger
cable (0.2 m).
Pad:
TRIG OUT jack
TAIKO-1:
TRIG IN 1 jack
(Do not connect the sound module to the lower pad.)
Disassembly
To disassemble the units, use the reverse process you used when
assembling them.
Specifying the pads to use
(Active Pad)
With the TAIKO-1, you can use both pads; but if you want to use
only one pad, you can enable just one. This helps prevent the
lower surface from operating unintentionally.

Handling caution
(about the screws)
Do not touch the screws of the
projections, since doing so might
cause the heads to loosen.
Caution when replacing the head
(do not insert your hand or fingers)
Do not insert your hand or fingers into the area indicated by the
arrow in the illustration. Doing so might cause injury or damage.

Gap
The rubber components of the head and rim are consumable
parts whose performance will decline with use over time.
If the head becomes torn, or if the surface of the head sags even
when the head tension is correctly adjusted, replace the head.
If the rubber of the rim is damaged, contact the retailer from
whom you purchased the product, or the nearest Roland Service
Center.
