*  This drum set illustration is for a right-handed player. If you want to set up for a left-handed player, assemble it as described in “Assembly 

for a left-handed player” in “MDS-Standard 2 Owner’s Manual”.

Attaching Various Parts to the 
Drum Stand

Installing the kick (KD-10)

NOTE

Adjusting the head tension affects only the head response, 
and does not change the pitch of the sound as it would on an 
acoustic drum. 
Pitch adjustments are made by editing the sound in your drum 
sound module. For details, refer to the “TD-27 Quick Start”.

Attach the crash cymbal (CY-12C-T / CY-14C-T) and ride cymbal (CY-18DR)

1. 

Position the cymbal so that the convex portion 

of the cymbal mount is aligned with the concave 

portion of the bottom of the cymbal.

2. 

Tighten the cymbal nut to obtain an appropriate 

amount of sway.

*  Use the cymbal nut and felt washer that are included with the 

drum stand.

Insert the plug of the connection cable 
into the CY-18DR’s DIGITAL TRIGGER OUT 
connector.

Adjusting the anchor bolts

When using on 

the V-Drums mat, 

Noise Eater, or carpet

When using on the 

floor

Use the included drum key to attach the various parts.

*  The settings explained in this guide are for a right-handed player. If you want to set up for a 

left-handed player, refer to “Assembly for a Left-Handed Player” in the next page.

*  For details on each part, refer to the owner’s manual of each part.

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, making it 
easier for you to perform.

*  When used on flooring, the anchor bolts may damage the floor.
*  The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.

Mounting the snare (PD-140DS) on a snare stand

The PD-140DS can only be used with a commercially available snare stand.

*  Make sure that the snare stand you are using is able to support a 14-inch shell.

Insert the plug of the connection cable into the PD-140DS’s DIGITAL TRIGGER 
OUT connector.
