Beater
Install the kick pedal
securely.
Position the beater so that it strikes the
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.

NOTE
* Attach the KD-10 and the kick pedal securely.
* Take care not to pinch your ngers.
* 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.
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 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.
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’s owner’s manual.
NOTE
* When used on ooring, the anchor bolts
may damage the oor. Adjust the anchor
bolts correctly.
* The 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

Adjusting the head tension
1. 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. Use the drum key to adjust the tension as needed.

1. 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.
