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 DC IN
jack, anchor the power
cord using the cord hook,
as shown in the illustration.

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

Install the kick pedal
securely.
Position things so the strik-
ing surface of the kick drum
is approximately 10–12 cm
in front of the pipe.
Tilt it downward
slightly, so the stick
doesn’t contact the rim.
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.
Place at a slightly
lower position than
the crash symbol.
Allow for 10–12 cm
of space between
tom 1 and tom 2.
