*  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, use cable ties to 

fasten the cord from the AC adaptor to the stand.

*  If you’re working in mono, only use the L/MONO jack.

When you’ve finished making connections, turn on the power as described in the TD-4 Owner’s Manual, 
and verify that you can hear sound.

This completes assembly and connections.

Attach the stopper so that 

the bolt is on the right-hand 

side, from the performer’s 

perspective.

Tilt it forward slightly.

Position so there is 

12–15 cm of space 

between the snare 

and tom.

The hi-hat should 

be placed about 

20 cm higher than 

the snare.

Place directly 

below the hi-hat.

The snare and 

tom 3 should 

be at the same 

height.

Allow for 10–12 cm 

of space between 

tom 1 and tom 2.

Place at a slightly 

lower position than 

the crash symbol.

Tilt it downward 
slightly, so the stick 
doesn’t contact the 
rim.

Position things so the 

striking surface of the kick 

drum is approximately 

10–12 cm in front of the 

pipe.

1.  Connect the cable to the 

TD-4 as shown in the 

illustration. 

Insert the connector all the 

way, then turn the knobs 

to fasten it securely.

2.  Labels indicating the pad to be 

connected are attached to the cable. 

Connect the cable to the OUTPUT 

jack of each pad as shown in the 

illustration.

KD-9 (Kick)

02

Position the beater so that it strikes 
the center of the head, then secure the 
kick pedal and KD-9 firmly in place.

*  Install the kick pedal securely.
*  Take care not to pinch your fingers.

*  Depending on how you’re using the unit, 

the bolts that attach the pedal to the plate 
could become loose, causing the pedal to 
rattle during performance.  
In such cases, use commercially available 
tools to tighten the bolts.

Adjusting the Anchor Bolts.

When using the kick pedal on a carpet or on a 
drum mat (TDM series), the slip-prevention tape 
that’s on the base should prevent the KD-9 from 
moving around.
However, if that’s not enough to keep the KD-9 
in a fixed position, you can adjust things so that 
the tips of the anchor bolts protrude through the 
base. That should keep it in place and make it 
easier for you to play.

When Using a Twin Pedal

Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as 

shown in the figure 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. 

For details, see “Editing the pad settings (PAD SETTINGS)” in the 

owner’s manual.

*  When used on flooring, the anchor 

bolts may damage the floor. Adjust the 
anchor bolts correctly.

*  The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. 

Handle with care.
