), use the drum key (
@6
) and tighten the key bolt (
@7
) firmly.

See Figure 18. Attach the black plastic part removed in step 1 to the cymbal holder, and
tighten it in a clockwise direction.
4
Attach one of the felt washers removed in step 1 to the cymbal holder. The other felt washer
will not be used within the standard assembly described in this manual.
Figure 19: Cymbal holder and Cymbal pad
5
See Figure 19. Insert the end of the L-shaped part of the stopper into the oval-shaped hole
on the cymbal pad (shown with ) to set the cymbal pad on the cymbal holder.
* Cymbal pad PCY135 is very similar to Real High-Hat Pad RHH135. Check the part num-
ber on the reverse side.
6
Attach the included round-shaped felt with a large hole-diameter to the cymbal holder,
then attach the wing nut removed in step 1 and tighten it. Turn the wing nut until you are
certain that the cymbal pad is attached. The cymbal pad is designed to shake when you hit
the surface, even when the wing nut is tightened securely.

Insert the straight plugs (Figure 27-
(a)
) of the 9-channel snake cable into the input jacks on
the rear panel of the trigger module. For standard assembly, connect the straight plugs to
the input jacks in accordance with the indication on each label.
* The stereo phone cable that comes with the XP100SD will not be used within the standard assembly described in
this manual.
