Do not connect the RDB
(ride/bell) cable. Leave the 
cap in place, and fasten
the cable so that it will not 
hinder your performance.

*

Use cable ties to fasten the cables at the circled locations “

” so

that they do not interfere with your performance.

*

Loosen the hand knobs
(A, two locations) and
spread open the left and
right legs of the stand as
shown in the illustration.

1.

Adjust the pad mounts 
(C, four locations) as 
shown in the illustra-
tion.

3.

Loosen the hand knob of 
the snare pipe (B), and pull
out the snare pipe toward 
the side of the performer.

2.

Attach the cymbal 
mounts (D, two
locations) and hi-hat 
mount (E) as shown in 
the illustration.

4.

Do not spread open the stand farther than 135 degrees
as shown in the illustration. Nor should
you spread the stand wider than 1.2 meters (48 inches).

*

Attach the bolt so that 
it is at the right when 
seen by the performer.

Tighten the wing
nut to obtain an 
appropriate amount 
of sway.

Finger-tighten all six of the tuning bolts in
the sequence shown in the illustration.

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

Use the drum key to adjust the tension as
needed.

When using on the drum mat

When using on 

hard-surfaced flooring

Adjusting the anchor bolts

When using the kick pedal on a drum mat or similar surface, adjust the anchor bolts so their tips pro-
trude from the plate. Then, secure the pedal in place; this will make it easier to use the kick pedal.

However, when used on hard-surfaced fl ooring, the anchor bolts may damage the fl oor. Adjust the 
anchor bolts correctly.

When using a twin pedal

Position the two beaters equally apart
from the center of the pad as shown in
the fi 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.

NOTE

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

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other 
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off  the power
on all devices before making any connections.

*

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be
pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack,
anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

Commercially available kick pedal

Beater

*   Adjust the height so that the entire pedal 
     comes into contact with the floor.

This hight will vary depending
on your kick pedal.

Position the beater so that it
strikes the center of the head, 
then secure the kick pedal and 
KD-8 fi rmly in place.

Depending on your kick pedal, it can be unstable
when you attach it to the KD-8. Be sure to adjust 
the foot plate height so that the entire bottom 
surface of the pedal is attached to the fl oor.

*

Install the kick pedal securely.

Take care not to pinch your fi ngers.

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

When moving the KD-8, be sure 
to remove the screws and fold the
stand. Transporting the KD-8 while
it remains open may subject the 
stand to excessive strain and result 
in damage to the stand.

Anti-skid tape is affi

  xed to the foot

plate. When transporting the KD-8, 
don’t forget to pick up the foot
plate.

Loosen the stand’s anchor  bolts and re-
move the foot plate.

Set the kick pedal so that the entire bot-
tom surface is attached to the fl oor.

In most cases, the stand becomes some-
what elevated. Tighten the anchor  bolts
securely there to fi x the stand and foot
plate.

3.

Remove  the  screws  attached  to  the  reverse  side  of 
the KD-8’s trigger.
Pull out the stand in the direction indicated by the
arrow until it is fully extended.
Using any commercially available drum key, tighten
the screws removed in Step 1 so that the stand is
fi rmly secured.
