Detailed explanation of each part
à KD-10 (Kick)
01 Attach the kick pedal.
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.
Beater
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.
Correct positioning
Incorrect positioning
Install the kick pedal securely.
03 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 on the floor
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.
02 Step on the kick pedal and make sure that it’s properly attached
and in a stable position.
Check to make sure that the base of the KD-10 and the kick pedal both make contact with 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.

the opposite side as shown in the illustration.
