Adjusting the Foot Plate Height

 

Depending on your kick pedal, it can be unstable when you 
attach it to the KD-8. Be sure to adjust the foot plate height so 
that the entire bottom surface of the pedal is attached to the 
floor.

 

1.

 

Loosen the stand’s anchor bolts and remove 

the foot plate. 

 

2.

 

Set the kick pedal so that the entire bottom 

surface is attached to the floor.

 

3.

 

In most cases, the stand becomes somewhat 

floated. Tighten the anchor bolts securely there 

to fix the stand and foot plate.

 

• Install the kick pedal securely.
• Take care not to pinch your fingers.
• The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.
• When moving the setup, be sure to remove the screws 

and fold the stand. Transporting the KD-8 while it 
remains open may subject the stand to excessive strain 
and result in damage to the stand.

 

Adjusting the Anchor Bolts

 

When using the kick pedal on a carpet or similar surface, adjust 
the anchor bolts so their tips protrude from the plate and secure 
the pedal in place; this will make it easier to use the kick pedal.
However, 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.

 

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.

Commercially Available Kick Pedal

Beater

* Adjust the height so that the entire pedal comes 
  into contact with the floor.

This hight will vary depending 
on your kick pedal.
