The Hardware and Connections

Pedal Input

The pedal input on the back of the

eDRUM

does not support drum pads. The

Jack uses DC current which can damage the drum pads. Look on the next
page for more information about the type of pedals you can connect.

DC Power Connector

eDRUM

typically gets its power from the USB cable. If you want to use your

eDRUM

without a USB connection, you can power it using a USB charger or the DC Power Jack.

eDRUM

devices use a BOSS style jack, where the center pin is negative.

The

eDRUM

4 needs at least 100mA, and the

eDRUM

10 needs at least

200mA, or 600mA if also using the USB host port. The BOSS PSA-120S is
great choice for either device.
