Assembling the KD-180L
NOTE
During assembly, take care that the weight of the bass drum does not
pinch your hand or foot.
1. Loosen the rod lock knob, and attach the rod.
Position the rod so that the memory lock is in close
contact with the bracket of the main unit, and then
tighten the rod lock knob.
* We recommend that you use the memory lock in the factory-set
position. This allows installation at the recommended rod length
and angle.

* The tip of the spike is sharp; handle it with care.
* Using the spike leg tips on wood ooring may damage the oor; the
rubber leg tips should be used on wood ooring.
3. Attach the kick pedal at the kick pedal
attachment position (the gap in the batter
hoop).
Adjust the location at which the kick pedal is attached
so that the beater strikes the center of the batter head’s
strike surface; then securely fasten the kick pedal to the
KD-180L.
* Take care not to pinch your ngers.

Adjusting the HeadTension
Before playing, you must adjust the pad tension rst.
If the head is too loose, the sensor might not work correctly,
or the sensor might be damaged. For stable operation, adjust
the head tension slightly tighter than the strike feel of a typical
acoustic drum.
NOTE
To avoid faulty operation, observe the following points.
5Adjust the head evenly so that it does not sag.
5Adjust the tuning bolts so that they are not loose.
1. Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the head
as indicated in the illustration.
Head
Tuning bolt

NOTE
Fully tightening a tuning bolt at only a single location produces
uneven tensioning, and correct playing dynamics may not
be achieved or may even cause malfunctions. Even tuning/
tensioning is very important.
2. Adjust the tightness of each tuning bolt so that the
head is tensioned evenly.
MEMO
5Head tension will not aect the actual tuning of the sound you
are playing. For that you need to adjust sound parameters in
the drum sound module you are using. For details, refer to the
owner’s manual of your drum sound module.
5Also, head tension may change depending on usage. Adjust
as needed.
Replacing the Head or Hoop Rubber
The performance of the head and/or hoop rubber will diminish
with use over time. If the head is torn or becomes too fatigued, or
impossible to tension correctly, then it should be replaced. If the
hoop rubber is worn out, it too can be replaced.
For replacement heads or to have the hoop rubber replaced,
please contact your dealer or a Roland service center.

Caution when setting up
5The tips of the cymbal mount and tom holder are sharp. Handle them with
care.
5When setting up or storing the stand, be careful not to pinch the ngers you
use to handle the stand.
5When setting up, ensure that the tripod of the stand is suciently open. If the
tripod is insuciently open, the appropriate degree of stability might not be
obtained.
5If you are using the boom arm in a signicantly extended position, stability
will improve if the cymbal is directly above one of the tripod legs.
5Likewise, when attaching the tom to the tom holder, stability will improve if
the tom is directly above one of the tripod legs.
5When you loosen a knob to adjust the height or angle of a tom or cymbal, the
pipe or pad might drop and pinch your ngers. Use one hand to support the
tom or pipe while you slowly loosen the knob.
5To prevent the stand from tipping over or falling, tighten the knobs until
there is no looseness. When tightening knob 5or knob 6, ensure that the
gears that maintain the angle are rmly meshed.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
6Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.
6When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction
may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition.
Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
6Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on
this unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or
otherwise harmfully aect the nish.
Maintenance
6For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one
that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.
6Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
6Use a reasonable amount of care when using the output jacks.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
6When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
6To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume
at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do
not need to be concerned about those around you.
6This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds
produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations
can be transmitted through oors and walls to a greater degree
than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a
nuisance to neighbors, especially when using headphones.
6When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will
need to use equivalent packaging materials.
6The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a
preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of
time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white stain,
or reveal how the pads were struck during product testing. This
does not aect the performance or functionality of the product,
and you may continue using it with condence.
6Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this
will not aect the Pad’s function.

Making the Settings
Mounting on the Stand
1. Use a commercially available drum key to
tighten the stopper bolt.
The stopper keeps the V-Cymbal from turning,
preventing the tangling of cables on the stand.
Attach the stopper
so that the bolt
is on the right-
hand side, from
the performer’s
perspective.
Bolt
Tighten the bolt
with a commercially
available drum key
Stopper
2. Attach the V-Cymbal, while positioning it
so the Roland logo is located on the side
opposite the performer.
Wing nut
Felt washer
Position the Roland logo
on the opposite side of
the playing area
3. Tighten the included felt washer and the
wing nut to obtain the desired movement.
* Use the included felt washer and wing nut.
* Double sounding may occur if the wing nut is loose.
4. Secure the cables in place with the cable
tie, and leave some slack in the cables
to ensure they are not pulled by the
movement of the V-Cymbal pads.
Secure the cable in place with
the cable tie
Leave some
slack in the

Be sure to make this
small plastic hook
visible from you.
Wind a cable tie around
the pipe and tighten it in
order to not to slip.
Wind a cable tie around
a cable.
Insert the
small plastic
hook to a hole
to secure the cable
to the cymbal arm.
* Take care to ensure that the cables do not touch the V-Cymbal
pads and/ or the stand. A cable touching a V-Cymbal pad or a
stand may cause double sounding or other incorrect operation.
Connecting to a Percussion Sound Module
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn o the power on
all devices before making any connections.
* Use the supplied connection cables (stereo) to make the
connections. If monaural cables are used, edge shots, bell shots,
and choke play cannot be supported.
Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the
CY-13R/12C.
The CY-12C has no BELL OUTPUT jack. Make the
connection to the BOW/EDGE OUTPUT jack.

About three-way triggering (CY-13R only)
The CY-13R can take advantage of your percussion
sound module’s three-way triggering functionality
to allow you to play bow, bell, and edge
separately.
Connect the two outputs BOW/BELL and BOW/
EDGE to the percussion sound module at the
same time.
For details on the connection method and
settings, refer to the owner’s manual for your
percussion sound module.
* If you won’t be using the three-way triggering
functionality, connect the BOW/EDGE OUTPUT jack
(not both) to your percussion sound module.
* Although you’ll be able to play using the bow and bell
sections when connected to the BELL OUTPUT jack, you
won’t be able to use the choking technique.

Playing Methods
Bow Shot
This is the most common playing method, playing the
middle area of the cymbal.
It corresponds to the sound of the “head-side” of the
connected trigger input.
Edge Shot
This playing method involves striking the edge with the
shoulder of the stick.
When played as shown in the gure, the “rim-side”
sound of the connected input is triggered.
Edge sensor
* On the CY-13R, edge shots are possible when the connection is
made to the BOW/EDGE OUTPUT jack.
Bell Shot (CY-13R Only)
This playing method involves striking the bell.
On the CY-13R, when played as shown in the gure, the
“rim-side” sound of the connected input is triggered.
Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of
the stick.
* Bell shots are possible when the connection is made to the CY-
13R’s BELL output.
* On the CY-12C, bell shots are not supported.
Choke Play
Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound
stop.
Choke the location of the edge sensor shown in the
gure. If you choke an area where there is no sensor, the
sound does not stop.
Edge sensor
Roland logo
* When ONLY using the BELL output of the CY-13R, the choke
function will not work.

Recommended Settings for the Trigger Parameters
These are the recommended trigger parameter settings when using the V-Cymbal with various models of sound module.
You may need to adjust the trigger parameters depending on how you’ve attached the V-Cymbal and the location at
which you’ve installed it.
* In order to use three-way triggering with the CY-13R, you must make settings on your percussion sound module to use its three-way triggering
functionality. For details on the procedure, refer to the owner’s manual for your percussion sound module.
