Q: What items should be included in the package? A: The package should include the main unit (KD-220 or KD-180), two rods, two wood hoop protectors (KD-220 only), a connection cable, a drum key, and an owner’s manual. Note that the package does not include a kick pedal or beater.
Q: What types of beaters can be used? A: A variety of commercially available beaters can be used, including felt, plastic, or wood types.
Q: What is included in the KD-180 model? A: The KD-180 includes a pedal plate, front head, hoop, leg fastener knob, rod, foot nut, and foot.
Q: What are the different parts of the bass drum? A: The bass drum includes a shell, lug, batter head’s strike surface, batter board stopper, hook, batter board, batter head (inside), TRIGGER OUT jack, batter hoop, and tension bolt.
Q: What should I be careful of during assembly? A: During assembly, take care that the weight of the bass drum does not pinch your hand or foot.
Q: How do I adjust the position of the pedal plate on the KD-180? A: Use the drum key to loosen the bolts at the locations shown, then adjust the position of the pedal plate so that the marks of the pedal plate align with the bolt positions, and tighten the bolts.
Q: How do I insert the rod into the leg? A: Insert the included rod into the leg, position the tip of the rod at mark 2, and then use the drum key to tighten the bolt.
Q: How do I adjust the angle of the leg? A: Loosen the leg fastener knob, adjust the angle of the leg, and then tighten the leg fastener knob.
Q: How do I adjust the tip of the legs for different surfaces? A: Adjust the tip of the legs (spike/rubber) appropriately for the surface on which you’re placing the KD-220/180. Use the spike for soft surfaces like V-Drums mats or carpets, and use the rubber tips for hard surfaces like wood flooring or concrete.
Q: How do I expose the spike on the leg? A: If you loosen the foot nut and rotate the foot to raise it, the spike will be exposed.
Q: How do I secure the position of the foot? A: Tighten the foot nut to secure the position of the foot.
Q: What should I be careful of when using the spike? A: The tip of the spike is sharp; handle it with care.
Q: What type of leg tips should I use on wood flooring? A: The rubber leg tips should be used on wood flooring, as using the spike leg tips may damage the floor.
Q: How do I affix the wood hoop protectors (KD-220 only)? A: Affix the wood hoop protectors to the position at which the kick pedal is attached, on both surfaces of the batter hoop.
Q: How do I attach the kick pedal to the KD-180? A: Attach the kick pedal to the pedal plate.
Q: How do I adjust the kick pedal position so that the beater strikes the center? A: Adjust the location at which the kick pedal is attached so that the beater strikes the center of the batter head’s strike surface; then securely fasten the kick pedal to the KD-180.
Q: What should I be careful of when attaching the kick pedal? A: Take care not to pinch your fingers.
Q: What should I do after attaching the kick pedal? A: After attaching the kick pedal, adjust the angle of the legs and the length of the rods as necessary.
Q: Can I use double kick pedals with the KD-220/180? A: Yes, the KD-220/180 can be used with double kick pedals.
Q: How do I adjust the striking points of two beaters when using double kick pedals? A: Adjust the striking points of the two beaters so that they are at equal distances to the left and right of the batter head’s strike surface.
Q: What should I do if the beater’s striking point cannot be aligned appropriately? A: Depending on the kick pedal, it might not be possible to attach it to the bass drum so that the strike point of the two beaters is located symmetrically to the left and right of the center of the batter head’s strike surface. In this case, use the following procedure to adjust the position of the batter head’s strike surface.
Q: How do I adjust the position of the batter head’s strike surface if the beater’s striking point cannot be aligned correctly? A:
- Remove all of the hooks/tension bolts, the batter board stopper, and the batter hoop.
- Rotate the batter head together with the batter board, adjusting its position so that the center of the TRIGGER OUT jack is aligned with the next hook below.
- Place the batter hoop back.
- Attach the batter board stopper to the hooks/tension bolts.
- While working alternately across opposite sides, use your fingers to push down the hooks and the batter board stopper, and insert the tension bolts into the lugs while pressing-in the batter board stopper between the batter hoop and the batter board.
- Working alternately across opposite sides of the drum, lightly tighten each tension bolt until the hooks do not wobble.
Q: What should I NOT do when adjusting the batter head’s strike surface? A: Do not detach the batter board and batter head from the shell to avoid injury, damage, or malfunction.
Q: How much should I tighten the tension bolts after they no longer wobble? A: Tighten each tension bolt another 3/4 of a turn to secure the front head.
Q: What can happen if the batter head is not secured sufficiently? A: If the batter head is not secured sufficiently, the sensor might malfunction, or the sound of the strike might be too loud.
Q: How do I connect the KD-220/180 to my drum sound module? A: Use the included connection cable to make the connection. Connect the “L” plug of the connection cable to the jack of the KD-220/180.
Q: What are the recommended trigger parameter settings? A: The following are the recommended trigger parameter settings for different drum sound modules:
| Module | KD-220 Trig Type | KD-180 Trig Type | Sensitivity | Threshold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TD-50 | KD-A22 | 7 | 7 | |
| TD-30 | KD-140 | |||

Q: Should I adjust the trigger parameters depending on how I’ve mounted the KD-220/180 or where it is installed? A: Yes, you may need to adjust the trigger parameters depending on how you’ve mounted the KD-220/180 and the location at which you’ve installed it.
Q: Where can I find details on editing the trigger parameters? A: For details on editing, refer to the owner’s manual of your drum sound module.
Q: How do I adjust the head tension on the KD-220/KD-180? A: Adjust the tension of the head (front/batter) before you play. You can vary the strike response (playing feel) by adjusting the tension.
Q: How should I tighten the tension bolts when adjusting head tension? A: Adjust each tension bolt little by little, working back and forth across the head in the order shown in the illustration.
Q: What can happen if I fully tighten a tension bolt at only a single location? A: Fully tightening a tension bolt at only a single location will produce uneven tensioning, which will make it impossible to achieve correct strike response and may also cause malfunctions.
Q: How should the tension be on each tension bolt? A: Adjust each tension bolt so that the head is tensioned evenly.
