Adjusting for the Rubber Legs 1. Loosen the leg nut. 2. Turn the rubber foot to adjust so that the spike portion does not stick out from the rubber foot. 3. Tighten the nut to secure the rubber foot in place and keep it from loosening. Nut Rubber foot 5. Loosen the T-bolts for the stand and mount the legs on the stand. Install the legs as shown in the figure so that the ends of the legs protrude by about 2 cm. Extend the leg by about 2 cm. Mount the legs on the stand. T-bolt 6. Tighten the T-bolts to secure the legs to the stand. 7. Lift the KD-120 and place the stand and the four legs upright. 8. Adjust the angle of the head surface so that it’s at a right angle to the floor. Use the included drum key to loosen the bracket bolts you tightened in step 3, and adjust the angle of the KD-120 pad so that the head surface is at a right angle to the floor. 9. Install the included beater on your kick pedal. * Using a beater made of felt may result in wear to the felt. Use the special included beater or a plastic beater as the beater for the kick pedal. 10. Mount the kick pedal on the KD-120. * Make sure there is about 1 cm of space between the two to keep the kick pedal’s chain (or belt) from touching the hoop of the KD-120 pad during play. Also, if the kick pedal has no under-plate, then arrange the stand’s plate section at a right angle to the floor. Space apart by about 1 cm. If the kick pedal has no under-plate, then arrange the stand’s plate section at a right angle to the floor. 90° 11. Make any fine adjustments necessary and tighten the stand brackets to make sure the KD120 is secure on the stand. Make sure the KD-120’s four legs and heel portion of the kick pedal is securely on the floor by loosening the stand’s T-bolts and adjusting the length of the legs. 12. Adjust the striking point for the beater. Normally 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. Moving the striking point closer to the sensor increases the sensitivity, so carry out fine adjustment to suit your preferences. When Using a Twin (Double Kick) Pedal When Using a Twin (Double Kick) Pedal . Set this up so that 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. Connecting to the Sound Module Connecting the KD-120 to a sound module (TD-20, TD-12, etc.). To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. • Make sure that KD-120 does not touch the drum stand or the other pads. • The appropriate Trigger Type settings need to be made for the percussion sound module. For instructions on making the settings, read the Owner’s Manual for the relevant sound module. Head Adjustment The head tension of the KD-120 can be adjusted. Adjusting the Head Tension When adjusting, use the included drum key or the drum key for your acoustic drums. In general, a tension that produces a strike response approximately the same as an acoustic bass drum will be appropriate. * Head tension that is too loose may not only cause incorrect operation, but may even damage the sensor. a c d b ef HEAD MADE BY REMO U.S.A. loosen tighten Lock nut 1. Check the current tension of the head. 2. Remove the kick pedal from the KD-120. 3. Loosen the lock nuts on the drum bolts. 4. Adjust bolt ‘a’ in the above diagram. Rotate it clockwise to tighten the head tension, or slightly counterclockwise to loosen the tension. * Fully tightening a tuning bolt at only a single location produces uneven tensioning, which may make it impossible to obtain the proper strike sensitivity and may even result in incorrect operation. Be sure to tighten each tuning bolt a little at a time, as described in the above explanation. 5. Adjust bolt ‘b’ so that the tension is the same as the tension of ‘a’. 6. Next adjust ‘c’ and ‘d’, and ‘e’ and ‘f’ in the same way. 7. Make sure that the head tension is even, and repeat steps 5 and 6 if you wish to make further adjustments. * On the KD-120, 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. To adjust the pitch, edit the sound parameters of the TD-20 or TD-12. For details refer to the respective owner’s manual. * The head tension will change as the instrument is used, so you should readjust when necessary. 8. Tighten the lock nuts to prevent loosening of the tuning bolts. 9. Mount the kick pedal on the KD-120. Head Replacement When the head should be replaced The head is an expendable item that eventually will wear out and need to be replaced.
