When using a twin pedal
*
*
*
Install the kick pedal securely.
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.
Using a twin pedal will result in lower sen-
sitivity as compared to when a single pedal
is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound
module (TD-4) by following the instructions
given in “TD-4 Owner’s Manual.”
Position the beater so that it strikes
the center of the head, then secure the
kick pedal and KD-8 firmly in place.
Take care not to pinch your fingers.
The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp.
Handle with care.
*
When moving the KD-8, be sure to remove
the screws and fold the stand. Transporting
the KD-8 while it remains open may subject
the stand to excessive strain and result in
damage to the stand.
Beater
1. Remove the stand fastening screws
from the reverse side of the KD-8’s
trigger.
2. Pull out the stand in the direction
indicated by the arrow until it is fully
extended.
3. Using the drum key included in the
FD-8 packing carton, tighten the screws
removed in Step 1 so that the stand is
firmly secured.
*
Anti-skid tape is affixed to the foot plate.
When transporting the KD-8, don’t forget
to pick up the foot plate.
Install the kick
pedal securely.

*
Adjust the height so that the entire pedal
comes into contact with the ꢀoor.
1. Loosen the anchor bolts and temporarily remove the foot
plate.
3. Turn the anchor bolts to adjust the height so that the entire kick
pedal is in contact with the floor and that the KD-8 does not
wobble even when you press the pedal to make the beater strike
the pad.
4. Screw the anchor bolts into the screw holes of the foot plate to fasten it.
If you’re using a drum mat, the KD-8 will be more stable if the pointed
portion of the anchor bolts protrudes from the foot plate. If you’re not
using a drum mat, take care not to tighten the anchor bolts too far, so
that you do not damage the floor or carpet.
2. Place the KD-8 and the kick pedal on the floor. Position the
foot plate so that the anchor bolts rest on the screw holes
of the foot plate.
When adjusting the height, lift the stand slightly while turning the
anchor bolts so that the foot plate is not fastened together with it.
