Attaching Various Parts to the
Drum Stand
Installing the kick (KD-10)
NOTE
Adjusting the head tension affects only the head response,
and does not change the pitch of the sound as it would on an
acoustic drum.
Pitch adjustments are made by editing the sound in your drum
sound module. For details, refer to the “TD-27 Quick Start”.
Attach the crash cymbal (CY-12C-T / CY-14C-T) and ride cymbal (CY-18DR)
1.
Position the cymbal so that the convex portion
of the cymbal mount is aligned with the concave
portion of the bottom of the cymbal.
2.
Tighten the cymbal nut to obtain an appropriate
amount of sway.
* Use the cymbal nut and felt washer that are included with the
drum stand.
Insert the plug of the connection cable
into the CY-18DR’s DIGITAL TRIGGER OUT
connector.
Adjusting the anchor bolts
When using on
the V-Drums mat,
Noise Eater, or carpet
When using on the
floor
Use the included drum key to attach the various parts.
* The settings explained in this guide are for a right-handed player. If you want to set up for a
left-handed player, refer to “Assembly for a Left-Handed Player” in the next page.
* For details on each part, refer to the owner’s manual of each part.
If you’re using this unit on a V-Drums mat, on a Noise Eater (NE-10), or on
carpet, extending the anchor bolts will secure the unit in place, making it
easier for you to perform.
* When used on flooring, the anchor bolts may damage the floor.
* The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.
Mounting the snare (PD-140DS) on a snare stand
The PD-140DS can only be used with a commercially available snare stand.
* Make sure that the snare stand you are using is able to support a 14-inch shell.
Insert the plug of the connection cable into the PD-140DS’s DIGITAL TRIGGER
OUT connector.
