Fasten the hi-hat cable to

Connect the snare cable to the snare from 
the front of the stand.

Cable clip A

*  If you pass the cable behind the snare, 

it will be pinched when you store the 
system, causing the cable to break.

NOTE

12

Connect the AC adaptor and speakers

*  To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off  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.

DC IN jack

Connect the included AC adaptor to the DC IN 
jack. 
Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator 
(see the illustration) faces upwards and the side 
with textual information faces downwards. The 
indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor 
into an AC outlet.

OUTPUT/PHONES jack

Connect your amplifi ed speaker or headphones to 
the OUTPUT/PHONES jack.

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

series). 

Final set-up adjustments

Adjust each tuning bolt little by little in the illustrated order so that the head is 
tensioned evenly.

*  Adjusting the head tension aff ects only the head response, and does not change 

the pitch of the sound as it would on an acoustic drum.

Cable holder

Tilt it forward slightly.

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.

Place directly 
below the hi-hat.

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

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

Place at a slightly 
lower position than 
the crash cymbal.

Adjust the angles so that you 
can perform comfortably.

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

*  When you operate the kick pedal or the hi-hat control pedal, please be careful not to get your fi 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.
