Drum trigger module

1.

Secure the module holder to the bottom of the drum trigger 
module using the module holder screws.

2.

Push the module holder into the holder clamp and tighten the 
clamp bolt to secure it in place.

Cymbal pads

1.

Using the tuning key, loosen the stopper’s key bolt.

2.

Remove the wing nut, the two felt pads, and the bolt cover 
from the cymbal holder.

3.

Place the stopper on the cymbal holder.

* If the key bolt was not sufficiently loosened in Step 1 

above, it may not be possible to pass the stopper over the 
cymbal holder’s shaft. In such a case, loosen the key bolt 
as much as possible without removing it.

4.

Replace the bolt cover.

* Turn the bolt cover to tighten it onto the threaded section 

and firmly secure it in place.

5.

With the stopper making full contact with the bottom surface 
of the bolt cover as shown below, tighten the stopper’s key 
bolt using the tuning key.

6.

Place one of the felt pads removed in Step 2 on the cymbal 
holder.

7.

Mount the pad on the cymbal stand. Lower the pad into place 
with the cymbal holder’s shaft passing through the central 
hole. When mounted, the stopper’s pin should rest inside the 
pad’s smaller hole.

* If you were to play your cymbal pad without the stopper’s 

pin positioned well inside the smaller hole, the pad could 
rotate, causing the pin to be pulled out. It is very important, 
therefore, to ensure that the stopper is secured as shown 
in Step 5 above.

8.

Assemble the felt pad that came with the cymbal pad.

* The second felt pad removed from the cymbal holder in 

Step 2 above is not required for assembly.

9.

Tighten the wing nut to secure the pad to the cymbal holder.

A cymbal pad’s built-in sensor is located close to the Yamaha 
logo found on the top surface. In order to achieve the best per-
formance from your pad, position it such that the area around 
the logo can be easily struck. (See the figure above.)

Assembling the drum trigger module and cymbal pads

1.

If a drum mat (sold separately) is not available, lay a sheet of 
cardboard on the floor to protect it from being scratched.

2.

Loosen the hi-hat stand’s wing bolt 

a

.

3.

Open up the three legs as shown below and then retighten 
the wing bolt 

a

 to lock them in place.

4.

Insert the footboard stabilizer rods into the frame holes as 
shown below.

5.

As shown on the right, loosen the hi-hat clutch’s wing bolt 

b

 

and remove the hi-hat clutch.

* The hi-hat clutch is not required when assembling the elec-

tronic drum kit in the standard fashion described in this 
manual. Instead, the hi-hat clutch that came with the 
RHH135 Real Hi-Hat Pad will be used.

6.

Remove the hi-hat shaft 

 from the upper tube 

.

7.

Insert the hi-hat shaft 

 from Step 6 as far as it will go into 

the lower tube 

 and screw in the tip.

8.

Insert the upper tube 

 over the hi-hat shaft 

 and tighten 

the wing bolt 

c

 to secure it in place with the cymbal support 

plate approximately half way between the top of the lower 
tube 

 and the top of the hi-hat shaft 

.

9.

Remove the felt pad attached above the cymbal support 
plate. It is not required when assembling the electronic drum 
kit in the standard fashion described in this manual.

10.

Assemble the RHH135 Real Hi-hat Pad.

* For detailed instructions, refer to the Setting Up section 

in the RHH135 Owner’s Manual.

Assembling the hi-hat stand

1.

If a drum mat (sold separately) is not available, lay a sheet of cardboard on the floor to protect it from being 
scratched.

2.

Remove the two wing bolts, spring washers, and flat washers from the kick pad frame, and line up each set 
nearby in the order of removal.

3.

Join the base section to the frame as shown on the right, and then secure it in place by assembling the wing 
bolts, spring washers, and flat washers removed in the previous step from the base side.

Assembling the kick pad

Arrange the hi-hat stand and the kick pad as shown in 

Example of standard assembly

 on the other side of this sheet.

• Lay a drum mat (sold separately) on the floor underneath the hi-hat stand and the kick pad. Alternatively, you can place cardboard from the drum kit packaging or the like 

on the floor to prevent it from being scratched.

• Ensure that you do not lower the electronic drum rack’s center strut too much as doing so may cause it to come into contact with the kick pad.

Connect the pads to the drum trigger module.

As described below, connect the output of each pad to the corresponding trigger input jack on the drum trigger module.

Connect the drum trigger module to a power supply.

1.

Plug the 

straight ends

 of the nine-channel snake cable into the trigger input jacks on the back of the 

drum trigger module.

• When using the standard setup, the stickers on each of the snake cable’s plugs will indicate the name 

of the corresponding pad.

2.

Plug the 

L-shaped ends

 of the nine-channel snake cable into the corresponding pads.

3.

In the case of snare and tom pads, wrap the cables around the cable clips to prevent them from being 
pulled out.

Excessive bending can damage pad cables. Ensure, therefore, that these cables 
are not bent at an extreme angle when wrapped around the clips.
