Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES.”

These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to

feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner’s manual should

be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

When you’ve ﬁ nished making connections, turn on the power as described in the TD-4 Owner’s ■

Manual, and verify that you can hear sound.

The parts required for mounting the cymbals and the *

hi-hat are included in the TD-4K attachment box.

The wingnut screws *

needed for accomplishing the

installation using the sound

module mounting plate

were packed inside the bag

containing the AC adaptor.

Pull out the stand in the

direction of the arrow, and

use the screws you removed

earlier to fasten the stand.

Remove the stand fastening

screws from the reverse side

of the KD-8’s trigger.

1.0 m (40”)

For reasons of safety, do not spread the *

stand wider than 1.0 meters (40 inches).

Connection procedure

Connect the cable to 1.

the TD-4 as shown in

the illustration.

Labels indicating the pad to be 2.

connected are attached to the

cable. Connect the cable to the

OUTPUT jack of each pad as

shown in the illustration.

KD-8 (Kick) ■

Adjust the height of the foot plate

When using a twin pedal

Position the two beaters equally apart from

the center of the pad as shown in the ﬁ gure

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.”

* Adjust the height so that the entire pedal

comes into contact with the oor.

This height will vary depending

on your kick pedal.

When using on the drum mat

When using on

hard-surfaced ooring

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

Turn the anchor bolts to adjust the height so that the entire kick 3.

pedal is in contact with the  oor and that the KD-8 does not

wobble even when you press the pedal to make the beater strike

the pad.

When adjusting the height, lift the stand slightly while turning the

anchor bolts so that the foot plate is not fastened together with it.

Screw the anchor bolts into the screw holes of the foot plate to fasten it.4.

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  oor or carpet.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

002b

• Do not open or perform any internal

modifications on the unit. (The only

exception would be where this manual

manual provides specific instructions

directing you to do so). Refer all servicing

to your retailer, the nearest Roland

Service Center, or an authorized Roland

distributor, as listed on the “Information.”

.......................................................................................................................

004

• Never install the unit in any of the

following locations.

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g.,

direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle,

near a heating duct, on top of heat-

generating equipment); or are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet

floors); or are

• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are

• Subject to salt exposure; or are

• Humid; or are

• Exposed to rain; or are

• Dusty or sandy; or are

• Subject to high levels of vibration and

by Roland.

.......................................................................................................................

006

• When using the unit with a stand (MDS

series) recommended by Roland, the

stand (MDS series) must be carefully

placed so it is level and sure to remain

stable. If not using a stand (MDS series),

you still need to make sure that any

location you choose for placing the unit

provides a level surface that will properly

support the unit, and keep it from

wobbling.

.......................................................................................................................

011

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable

material, coins, pins); or liquids of any

kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate

the unit.

.......................................................................................................................

Placement

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it

inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive

heat can deform or discolor the unit.

356

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of

time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

add

• When setting up or storing this unit, be careful so the fingers used to grasp the stand

don’t get pinched. Also, take care that the stand does not become unbalanced and fall

over or fall against you.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly

dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,

non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry

cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of

discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls;

and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the

cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You

may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around

you (especially when it is late at night).

558d

• 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

to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones.

562

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for

connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely

low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufac-

turer of the cable.

add

• 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.

add

• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect the Pad’s

function.

962a

• In the interest of product improvement, the specifications and/or appearance of this unit

are subject to change without prior notice.

• Roland, V-Drums, and V-Compact are either registered trademarks or trademarks of

Head replacement procedure

PDX-8 component names

NOTE

Be sure to adjust the head tension of the *

PDX-8 before use.

Striking the head when the head tension *

is loose may damage the sensor and head.

Do not apply excessive force to the sensor *

and cushion located under the head.

Doing so can interfere with accurate

detection, and may damage it.

Due to the nature of the materials used in *

the sensor of the PDX-8, changes in room

temperature may aect the sensitivity of

the sensor.

The rim rubber is one component that *

eventually wears out (depending on the

number and strength of the rim shots

performed), and will require replacement.

Rim shots may not be performed correctly

when the rim rubber is worn out. If this

occurs, replace the rim rubber. Consult

Roland Service for more on replacing the

rim rubber.
