ASSEMBLING YOUR KIT
For a video demonstration on how to set up your kit, visit
simmonsdrums.net/titan50-setup or scan the QR code
here:
The Titan 50 rack comes pre-assembled with all clamps
already in place
1. Pull rack out of box.
2. Loosen nuts on side arms and snare clamps so you can
rotate bars. The Simmons logo in the middle of the rack
should face the back of the kit.
3. Pull the side arms and snare arm out into their playing
positions.
4. Tighten nuts on side arm clamps.
5. Loosen L-rod wing nuts on tom clamps: the clamps that
angle up above the rack. Insert plastic of L-rod into tom
clamps and tighten wing nuts. Add another L-rod to the
snare clamp, the one that faces the player on the short
arm.
NOTE 1: We recommend putting the Titan 50 on a drum rug
to keep the components together.
NOTE 2: The right-side bar has a pass-through clamp,
designed to make the rack expandable. You can make this
arm shorter when you assemble the kit to save space. If you
expand the kit without optional Titan 50 Expansion Kit, you
can lengthen that arm to accommodate the extra tom and
cymbal.

OWNER’S MANUAL
ASSEMBLING YOUR KIT
ATTACHING THE CYMBAL PADS
1. Insert the two longest cymbal arms into the flat rack
clamps facing behind the rack.
2. Insert the shorter hi-hat arm on the left-side arm’s
cymbal clamp.
3. Remove top wing nut and felt from cymbal arm. Place
cymbal pad on the cymbal arm.
4. Re-attach the felt washer and wing nut. Tighten wing
nut.
NOTE: If you want the cymbal pads closer, you can angle
the bottom section from the clamp and use the “boom” joint
to make the cymbal flat or any angle you want.
ATTACHING THE DRUM MODULE AND DRUMS
1. Loosen wing screws on the snare and tom drum clamps.
2. Place the L-rods into the opening of the drum clamps,
as shown in the image above. The shorter, thicker end of
the L-rod goes into the clamp and the longer, metal end
faces the drummer.
3. Slide the drum pads onto the L-rods. The 10" snare pad
goes on the arm closest to the drummer. The other three
8" tom pads go on the other three clamps.
4. Loosen the module clamp, the one furthest to the
drummer's left. Insert the module into the clamp and
tighten.
BASS DRUM AND HI-HAT PEDAL
1. Place the hi-hat pedal on the floor and to the left, as
illustrated below.
2. Connect the kick drum pedal to the front of the kick
drum pad. The clamp on the back of the kick pedal
attaches to the metal lip on the front of the kick pad.
Replace with your own kick pedal if you want, nearly
any kick pedal should fit the clamp.
3. Place the bass pad and beater pedal on the floor in the
center of the rack as illustrated.

CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING THE SOUND MODULE AND PADS
Using the provided cables, connect the 1/4” jacks to the
corresponding drum pads, cymbal pads and kick pad. The
pin connection will attach to the serial port of the sound
module. (See illustration.) The cables have some extra
length so you can customize the kit, for example swapping
the crash and ride for left-handed players.
NOTE: Use the included cable clips to attach cables to
the back of the rack and the hook-and-loop ties to attach
cables to the vertical sections of the rack.
AC ADAPTER
The Titan 50 module uses an external power supply called
an AC Adapter. This plugs into the back of the module.
Make sure the power is switched OFF on the module and
connect the power adaptor with the DC IN jack on the rear
panel. For extra protection, there is a cable clip for the
power cable on the bottom of the module. Insert the power
cable through the C-shaped opening.
NOTE: To protect the speakers, amplifier and the drum
module from damage, lower the volume to the minimum
level before switching the power ON.
Make sure the power is switched OFF when connecting the
drum module to external devices.

CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING AUDIO EQUIPMENT
Mixers and Amplifiers
1. To listen to the module, send the outputs to a mixer
or drum amplifier. Connect the Output L/MONO and
R jacks on the rear panel to your amp. (For monaural
playback, only use the L/MONO jack; for stereo
playback, connect both L/MONO and R jacks.)
2. The volume from the module is adjusted with the
VOLUME knob. This controls both the line outputs and
the headphone output volume.
3. You can connect a standard pair of headphones to the
Titan 50 module to listen to your electronic drum set
without disturbing others. Connect the headphones to
the 1/8” headphone jack located on the left side of the
drum module. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level
to avoid damaging your hearing.
AUX INPUT
This input allows you to mix the input from external audio
sources with the Titan 50 module’s internal sounds.
1. Plug the audio output of your smartphone, tablet,
or other audio source into the AUX IN jack on the
back panel.

OWNER’S MANUAL
CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING MIDI DEVICES AND COMPUTERS
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which
is a world-wide standard communication interface that
enables electronic musical instruments and computers (of all
brands) to communicate with each other. MIDI sends note
and other communication between devices. This exchange
of information makes it possible to create a system of MIDI
instruments and devices that offer greater versatility and
control than is available with isolated instruments. Whether
you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or
other controllers, your musical horizons will be greatly
enhanced.
BLUETOOTH WIRELESS AUDIO AND MIDI
The Titan 50 includes Bluetooth wireless audio and MIDI for
connection to apps like the Simmons App for iOS. (See page
29) for connection instructions.
USB AUDIO AND MIDI CONNECTION
The USB connector allows you to connect the module
directly to your computer. It can be connected without driver
installation under the Windows & macOS environment. The
module will be recognized to receive and transmit Audio and
MIDI messages through a single USB cable, The Titan 50
module will appear as “Titan 50” in the USB device options
of your software. (See page 28 for more information)
NOTE: When the USB is connected to a computer, all MIDI
messages will be received and transmitted via USB.
TABLET SHELF
The Titan 50 includes a smartphone and tablet shelf.
Press this shelf into the slots on the back of the module
until you feel a click. You can rest your device here and
rubber padding keeps it from moving too much. Excessive
playing will vibrate the shelf, however, so keep an eye on
your device when thrashing the drums. You can also put this
manual or music notation on the shelf.

4. When the click is active, you will see the display animate
the metronome back and forth to the tempo you set.
USING A DOUBLE-KICK PEDAL
The kick pad on the Titan 50 was designed to work with a
double kick pedal. When playing with a double-kick pedal,
you might want to play a closed high-hat sound, similar to
“opening the choke” on an acoustic hi-hat stand. Here’s
how you do this on the Titan 50:
1. Press SETUP
2. The first display should read “Hi-Hat:Pedal” This is
the default setting, the hi hat controller pedal controls
whether the hi hat is open or closed.
3. Press the + button to change this to “Hi-Hat: Mid.” This
is the equivalent to opening the choke on your hi-hat
stand so that the cymbals touch. This gives a trashier
sound for playing hard rock or metal styles.
4. Press the + button again to change this setting to
“Hi-Hat: Cl.” This is a dryer, closed sound equivalent to
tightening the choke on your hi-hat stand.
5. If you step on the pedal, even after exiting this menu,
the hi-hat control will revert to “Pedal” for normal
operation.
