Adjust the height of the foot plate
When using a twin pedal
Position the two beaters equally apart from
the center of the pad as shown in the fi gure
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 sen-
sitivity as compared to when a single pedal
is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound
module (TD-4) by following the instructions
given in “TD-4 Owner’s Manual.”

Using the drum key included in the
3.
FD-8 packing carton, tighten the screws
removed in Step 1 so that the stand is
fi rmly secured.
02
Attach the kick pedal
Loosen the anchor bolts and temporarily remove the foot
1.
plate.
Place the KD-8 and the kick pedal on the fl oor. Position the
2.
foot plate so that the anchor bolts rest on the screw holes
of the foot plate.
Commercially available kick pedal
Beater
* Adjust the height so that the entire pedal
comes into contact with the floor.
This height will vary depending
on your kick pedal.
When using on the drum mat
When using on
hard-surfaced flooring
The TD-4 percussion sound module supports rim
*
shots only for the snare.
It does not support rim shots for toms.
To prevent damage to the fl oor or carpet and to ensure stability, we recommend that you use a drum mat (TDM series; sold separately).
*
Turn the anchor bolts to adjust the height so that the entire kick
3.
pedal is in contact with the fl oor and that the KD-8 does not
wobble even when you press the pedal to make the beater strike
the pad.
When adjusting the height, lift the stand slightly while turning the
anchor bolts so that the foot plate is not fastened together with it.
Screw the anchor bolts into the screw holes of the foot plate to fasten it.
4.
If you’re using a drum mat, the KD-8 will be more stable if the pointed
portion of the anchor bolts protrudes from the foot plate. If you’re not
using a drum mat, take care not to tighten the anchor bolts too far, so
that you do not damage the fl oor or carpet.
The wingnut screws
*
needed for accomplishing the
installation using the sound
module mounting plate
were packed inside the bag
containing the AC adaptor.
