Use a commercially available kick pedal.

To prevent damage to the floor or carpet and to ensure stability, we recommend that you use a drum mat (TDM series; sold separately).

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.
