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 firmly 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.

When using on the floor
NOTE
* Attach the KD-10 and the kick pedal securely.
* Take care not to pinch your fingers.
* 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 fixed
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 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.
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 flooring, the anchor bolts
may damage the floor. Adjust the anchor
bolts correctly.
* The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp.
Handle with care.
