Settings

The BT-1 can be attached to the hoop (tuning bolt) of a V-Drums mesh pad or your acoustic snare

or tom.

By using the included attachment, you can also attach it to a commercially-available stand (rod

type mount) or to the pad mount of a V-Drums stand.

Attaching the BT-1 to a Drum Hoop

NOTE

When the BT-1 is attached on the hoop of an acoustic drum or V-Drums pad, striking the

BT-1 will cause the drum it is mounted on to sound. If this presents a problem, the BT-1 can

be mounted on a stand (p. 6).

* Depending on the shape of the hoop, it might not be possible to attach the BT-1 correctly (p. 12).
* The BT-1 cannot be attached to the hoop of a bass drum.
* The BT-1 cannot be attached to the PDX-8 or PDX-6.
* In order to attach the BT-1 to a PDX-100 or PD-85, you must first install the spacer (L).

1.

Remove the tuning bolt from the

location where you want to attach the

BT-1.

* If the head is strongly tensioned, slightly

loosen the entire head before you

proceed.

2.

Lay the mounting hole of the BT-1

over the bolt hole of the hoop.
