Use cable ties to fasten
the cables at the circled
locations “
” so that they
do not interfere with your
performance.
Make sure to wrap the cable
ties around the pipes.

Assemble the stand using the procedure described in the MDS-4 Owner’s
Manual.
Do not spread the stand wider than 1.0 meters (40 inches).
*
Attach the bolt so that
it is at the right when
seen by the performer.
Tighten the wing
nut to obtain an
appropriate amount
of sway.
Finger-tighten all six of the tuning bolts in
the sequence shown in the illustration.
The appropriate amount of tension is one
that will provide approximately the same
striking response as on an acoustic drum.
Use the drum key to adjust the tension as
needed.

Adjusting the anchor bolts
When using the kick pedal on a drum mat or similar surface, adjust the anchor bolts so their tips pro-
trude from the plate. Then, secure the pedal in place; this will make it easier to use the kick pedal.
However, when used on hard-surfaced fl ooring, the anchor bolts may damage the fl oor. Adjust the
anchor bolts correctly.
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
sensitivity as compared to when a
single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity
on the sound module.
NOTE
The tips of the anchor bolts
are sharp. Handle with care.

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be

use cable ties to fasten the cord from the AC adaptor to the stand.

* Adjust the height so that the entire pedal
comes into contact with the floor.
This hight will vary depending
on your kick pedal.
Position the beater so that it
strikes the center of the head,
then secure the kick pedal and
KD-8 fi rmly in place.
Depending on your kick pedal, it can be unstable
when you attach it to the KD-8. Be sure to adjust
the foot plate height so that the entire bottom
surface of the pedal is attached to the fl oor.

Install the kick pedal securely.
Take care not to pinch your fi ngers.
The tips of the anchor bolts are
sharp. Handle with care.
When moving the KD-8, be sure
to remove the screws and fold the
stand. Transporting the KD-8 while
it remains open may subject the
stand to excessive strain and result
in damage to the stand.
Anti-skid tape is affi
xed to the foot
plate. When transporting the KD-8,
don’t forget to pick up the foot
plate.
