Player
Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as shown in
the figure below. 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 “TD-07 Owner’s Manual.”
Adjusting the head tension
1. Use the drum key to adjust each tuning bolt a little at a
time, moving in order from one side to the opposite side as
shown in the illustration.
The appropriate amount of tension is one that will provide
approximately the same striking response as on an acoustic
drum.
2. Make minor adjustments to the tightness as necessary.
Correct positioning Incorrect positioning
Placement
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar
the surface.
Additional Precautions
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds
produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations
can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree
than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become
a nuisance others nearby.
569
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a
preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of
time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white
stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product
testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of
the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but
this will not affect the pad’s function.

Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with
the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the

the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use
a different polarity, or be designed for a different
voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or
electric shock.
