Switch the Power On
With everything set up and ready to go, it's time to start playing the drum kit. Locate the on/off
power switch on the drum module and switch the power on. The drum module is ready to
operate when the display shown below appears. This is the location from which you select the
drum kit you want to play or edit.
Next, connect headphones or a speaker system as described on the previous two pages. Start
with the MASTER VOLUME set to MIN and press the [Start/Stop] button on the drum
module. Gradually increase the volume until you hear a song playing through your speaker
system or headphones. If you hear no sound, please check all of the cables connecting the
drum module to your speakers and repeat the procedure. When the levels are set to a
comfortable level, press the [Start/Stop] button again to stop the song.
Once you have established that your sound system or headphones are connected correctly to
the drum module, play each of the pads, cymbals, and kick and hi-hat pedals. You should
hear a sound for every hit. If one pad or cymbal does not play a sound, check the cable
connection from that pad to the sound module.
With everything set up and the kit sounding from all pads, it time to start playing! When
you are ready to learn more about your new drum system, pick up the manual again and
continue with the next page. 's
