center of the head, then secure the kick
pedal and KD-10 rmly in place.
* A variety of commercially available
beaters can be used, including felt,
plastic, or wood types. However if a felt
beater is used, the felt may leave marks
on the striking surface.

Adjusting the head tension
When the unit is shipped from the factory,
this is adjusted fairly loosely. Before use,
adjust the head to a fairly high tension.
1. Use the drum key to adjust each tuning bolt a little at a time, moving in
order from one side to the opposite side as shown in the illustration.
2. Fine-tune the adjustment while continuing to check the pad feel and
response.
* Do not rmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make it
impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause malfunctions.
Adjusting the Anchor Bolts.
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.
However, if that’s not enough to keep the KD-10 in a xed
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 gure below. 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.
If you’re using twin pedals, the sensitivity will be lower than when a single
pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module.
For details, refer to the “TD-07 Owner’s Manual.”
NOTE
5When used on ooring, the anchor bolts
may damage the oor. Adjust the anchor
bolts correctly.
5The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp.
Handle with care.
Component names
Attach the kick pedal. Step on the kick pedal and make sure that it’s properly attached and
in a stable position.
Check to make sure that the base of the KD-10 and the kick pedal both make contact
with the oor.
Remove one or the other.
You can lighten the feeling by removing
either the left or the right spring.
Take care not to pinch your nger when
removing or installing a spring.
Component names
1. Detach lower hook.
2. Detach upper hook.
To reinstall the spring, attach the upper hook rst.
Fixing the cables
(CY-8)
Adjusting the head tension
1. Use the drum key to adjust each tuning bolt a little at a time,
moving in order from one side to the opposite side as shown in
the illustration.
The appropriate amount of tension is one that will provide
approximately the same striking response as on an acoustic
drum.
2. Make minor adjustments to the tightness as necessary.
NOTE
5Attach the KD-10 and the kick pedal securely.
5Take care not to pinch your ngers.
5Depending 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.

Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct
voltage
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with
the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the
installation matches the input voltage specied on
the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use
a dierent polarity, or be designed for a dierent

electric shock.
Placement
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar
the surface.
Additional Precautions
• This 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 others nearby.
