KD-8
Adjusting the Foot Plate Height
Depending on your kick pedal, it can be unstable when you
attach it to the KD-8. Be sure to adjust the foot plate height so
that the entire bottom surface of the pedal is attached to the
floor.
1. Loosen the stand’s anchor bolts and remove
the foot plate.
2. Set the kick pedal so that the entire bottom
surface is attached to the floor.
3. In most cases, the stand becomes somewhat
floated. Tighten the anchor bolts securely there
to fix the stand and foot plate.
• Install the kick pedal securely.
• Take care not to pinch your fingers.
• The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.
• When moving the setup, 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.
Adjusting the Anchor Bolts
When using the kick pedal on a carpet or similar surface, adjust
the anchor bolts so their tips protrude from the plate and secure
the pedal in place; this will make it easier to use the kick pedal.
However, 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.
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.
Using a twin pedal will result in
lower sensitivity as compared to
when a single pedal is used. Raise the
sensitivity on the sound module.

* Adjust the height so that the entire pedal comes
