KD-9 (Kick)
02
Position the beater so that it strikes
the center of the head, then secure the
kick pedal and KD-9 firmly in place.
NOTE
* Install 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.
When using the kick pedal on a carpet or on a
drum mat (TDM series), the slip-prevention tape
that’s on the base should prevent the KD-9 from
moving around.
However, if that’s not enough to keep the KD-9
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.
Using a twin pedal will result in lower sensitivity as compared to when
a single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module.
For details, see “Setting the Pad Sensitivity [F2] (BASIC)” in the 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

When using on
the floor
* 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.
* Fasten the cables so that they will not obstruct your playing; use cable clips
at locations marked , and cable ties at locations marked .
Make sure to wrap the cable ties around the pipes.
* The tip of the mount is sharp. Handle it with care.
* When setting up or storing the stand, be careful not to pinch the fingers you use to
handle the stand.
