IMPORTANT NOTES
13.
Adjust the striking point for the beater.
The beater’s striking point is adjusted to fall at the center
of the head.
Adjust the striking point so that it doesn’t extend beyond
the cushion on the back of the head.
With the KD-85, you can also play using a twin (double kick)
pedal.
Set this up so the striking points of the two beaters fall at equal
distances to the left and right of the center of the head.
When using a twin (double kick) pedal, as with a regular
pedal, use the included beater or a plastic beater as the
beater for the kick pedal.

As needed, adjust the sensitivity parameter of the sound
module.
When the Head Should Be Replaced
The head is an expendable item that eventually will wear out and
need to be replaced. Replace the head when the following occurs:
• The head surface is torn
• Slack portions remain in the head even when the head
tension is properly adjusted.
Replacement heads (optional): MH-8 Mesh Head
1.
Remove the kick pedal from the KD-85.
2.
Remove all tuning bolts and washers from the
KD-85.
Press the lock bushing (in figure below) in place with
your finger as you remove each tuning bolt, to prevent
the bushings from being pulled off the frame.
fig.Replace.e
* The lock bushings prevent rotation and loosening of the tuning
bolts caused by vibrations that are transmitted from the hoop as
you play.
3.
Remove the hoop.
4.
Remove the old head.
5.
Place the new head on the frame.
6.
Place the hoop onto the head.
7.
Pass the tuning bolts through the washers,
then attach them to the hoop and frame.
8.
Next, adjust the tension of the head (p. 6).
* Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so
will make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will
cause malfunctions.
If a lock bushing happens to become separated from the
frame while the head is being replaced, position the
bushing so its four slots are aligned with the
corresponding ridges in the frame, then press down
firmly on the bushing.

When Using a Twin (Double Kick)
Pedal
To Obtain More Stability
If you are using a kick pedal with an under plate
Adjust the length of the legs and the angle of the stay so
that the four legs of the KD-85 and the heel of the kick
pedal contact the floor evenly.
