the volume, and turn off the power on all
devices before making any connections.
* To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid
applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, use cable ties to
fasten the cord from the AC adaptor to the stand.
* If you’re working in mono, only use the L/MONO jack.

When you’ve finished making connections, turn on the power as described in the TD-4 Owner’s Manual,
and verify that you can hear sound.
This completes assembly and connections.
Attach the stopper so that
the bolt is on the right-hand
side, from the performer’s
perspective.
Tilt it forward slightly.
Position so there is
12–15 cm of space
between the snare
and tom.
The hi-hat should
be placed about
20 cm higher than
the snare.
Place directly
below the hi-hat.
The snare and
tom 3 should
be at the same
height.
Allow for 10–12 cm
of space between
tom 1 and tom 2.
Place at a slightly
lower position than
the crash symbol.
Tilt it downward
slightly, so the stick
doesn’t contact the
rim.
Position things so the
striking surface of the kick
drum is approximately
10–12 cm in front of the
pipe.
1. Connect the cable to the
TD-4 as shown in the
illustration.
Insert the connector all the
way, then turn the knobs
to fasten it securely.
2. Labels indicating the pad to be
connected are attached to the cable.
Connect the cable to the OUTPUT
jack of each pad as shown in the
illustration.

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.
* 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 “Editing the pad settings (PAD SETTINGS)” in the
owner’s manual.
* 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.
