Assembling the drum trigger module and cymbal pads
Assembling the 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.
Assembling the cymbal pads
1.
Using a 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 of your pad unit.
9.
Tighten the wing nut to secure the pad unit 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 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.
Loosen the hi-hat stand’s wing bolt (
a
in the following figure).
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 rod into the frame hole 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
electronic 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 and the support plate 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 kick pad
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 below, 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 Snare Stand and Snare Pad
1.
Open up the snare stand’s legs and stand it up on the floor.
2.
Open up the snare stand’s basket section, lay the XP120SD Snare Pad on it,
adjust the basket, and then tighten the adjusting knob to secure the pad and
prevent it from moving.

Arrange the hi-hat stand, the kick pad, and the snare stand 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.
• If the kick pad comes into contact with the electronic drum rack’s center strut, raise the center strut.
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.
As shown at right, connect the pads with the trigger input jacks (SNARE – KICK and HI-HAT CON-
TROL jack) of the drum trigger module by using the stereo phone cables.
• Insert the straight plugs of the cable into the trigger input jacks of the drum trigger module, then insert
the L-shaped plugs of the cables into each corresponding pad.
2.
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 the pad cables. Ensure, therefore, that these ca-
bles are not bent at an extreme angle when wrapped around the clips.
