Beater
Install the kick pedal
securely.
Position the beater so that it strikes the
center of the head, then secure the kick
pedal and KD-10 firmly in place.
* A variety of commercially available
beaters can be used, including felt,
plastic, or wood types. However if a felt
beater is used, the felt may leave marks
on the striking surface.

1.
Adjust each tuning bolt a little at a time, moving in order from one side to
the opposite side as shown in the illustration.
2.
Fine-tune the adjustment while continuing to check the pad feel and
response.
* Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make it
impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause malfunctions.

Fixing the cables
1.
Make adjustments so that the cosmetic part in the lower middle of the hi-hat is
3 mm away from the center tip of the sensor, and then tighten the clutch screw.
3mm
3mm
* The spacing can be adjusted to the distance that you find comfortable for
playing, but if it is too narrow or too wide, malfunctions may occur, and you
might not be able to play as expected.
3 mm is the spacing at which you’ll be able to play the VH-10 with the most
natural feel.
2.
Use the hi-hat stand to adjust the tension of the pedal spring.
* Depending on the stand, it might not be possible to make adjustments.
1.
After making the hi-hat settings, release your foot from the pedal, and
while keeping your foot off the pedal, turn on the power of the TD.
2.
Loosen the clutch screw and let the hi-hat rest naturally on the motion
sensor unit.
3.
Press the [SETUP] button.
4.
Use the dial to select the “Hi-Hat Settings,” and press the [ENTER]
button.
5.
Turn the dial to set the Pad Type to “VH10.”
6.
While watching the meter that’s shown in the right of the screen,
make adjustments by turning the VH offset adjustment screw of the
VH-10.
Adjust the offset so that the
appear in the meter.
7.
Press the [DRUM KIT] button to return the KIT screen.
Adjust the offset.
NOTE
The hi-hat has a correct orientation. You’ll obtain the optimal sensitivity if the
“Roland” logo is toward the back as seen from the performer.
Adjust the hi-hat.
If you find the closed hi-hat sound difficult to play, turn the VH offset
adjustment screw toward “CLOSE.”
If you find the open hi-hat sound difficult to play, turn it toward “OPEN.”
* If the sound is interrupted when you play a strong strike, adjust the VH
offset adjustment screw toward “OPEN.”
NOTE
* Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this
will not affect the Pad’s function.
* If the hi-hat clutch has been detached from the hi-hat, refer to “If
the Clutch Was Apart from the Hi-Hat” in the owner’s manual.
NOTE
* Attach the KD-10 and 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.
If you’re using this unit on a V-Drums mat, on a noise eater
(NE-10), or on carpet, extending the anchor bolts will
secure the unit in place.
However, if that’s not enough to keep the KD-10 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.
If you’re using twin pedals, the sensitivity will be lower than when a single
pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module.
For details, refer to the TD’s owner’s manual.
NOTE
* 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.
