Let’s Learn About Drums
Drum Set Elements
Here are some basic terms related to drum sets.
Bass drum/Kick Pedal
Tom (Tom 1, Tom 2)
Played with a kick pedal, it’s the largest drum in the kit.
* Use a commercially available kick pedal.
These are usually mounted above the bass drum.
Floor tom (Tom 3)
Snare drum
Sometimes called a bass tom, it either stands on it’s own legs or is
mounted on a stand.
The snare drum is the main “voice” of a drum kit.
Ride cymbal
Hi-hat/Hi-hat pedal
An acoustic hi-hat uses 2 cymbals mounted on a hi-hat stand.
Pressing the hi-hat pedal opens and closes it.
* The TD-1KPX uses a single pad.
Usually mounted on the right side of the kit, the ride cymbal is
principle elements in keeping time.
Crash cymbal
Smaller than the ride, the crash cymbal is mainly used for accents.

The Basics of Playing
Drums are played using both hands and both feet.
Here we’ll explain how to hold the sticks and use the pedals.
Holding the sticks
Using the kick pedal
The most common way to hold the sticks is called the “matched
grip” as shown in the illustrations below.
Left hand
Right hand
The kick pedal can be pressed in either of two ways: “heel up” or
“heel down.”
Heel up
In this method, your heel
floats above the pedal.
With your heel off the
pedal, lower your entire foot to push down the pedal.
This method applies the full weight of your leg to the pedal, making
it easier for you to produce a stronger sounds than the heel down
method. This is often used in rock and pop.
Heel down
In this method, the entire
bottom of your foot from
heel to toe stays in contact
with the pedal. Use your ankle joint to make your toes push down
the pedal. This method allows more precise control of the volume,
and is often used in jazz and bossa nova.

Let’s Learn About Drums
Using the snare
Using the hi-hat
ENG
In an acoustic drum set, the hi-hat consists of two cymbals placed
facing each other vertically on a hi-hat stand. The two cymbals can
be closed together by pressing the pedal.
Head shot
Hit only the head of the pad. This is the most common method to
play the snare.
A variety of playing techniques are possible, such as playing the
cymbals with the pedal and/or playing them with sticks.
JPN
DEU
FRA
ITA
When you press the pedal, the two cymbals will come together
ESL
(closed). When you release the pedal, the two cymbals will separate
POR
(opened).
NLD
Closed
With the hi-hat pedal pressed firmly, strike the pad with a stick. A
short “chick” sound will be heard.
Rim shot
Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously.
A sound (rim sound) different than the head shot will be heard.
Suitable position
for rim shots
Half-open
With the hi-hat pedal pressed gently, strike the pad with a stick. A
slightly longer “swish” sound will be heard.
Rim
Open
With the hi-hat pedal completely released, strike the pad with a
stick. An even longer “sound” than the half-open sound will be
heard.
Using the cymbals
Bow shot
The most common method, playing the middle area of the cymbal.
Foot closed
Just press the pedal without using a stick. This sound will be softer
and shorter than the closed sound played with a stick. Useful for
keeping time with this tight sound.
Edge shot
Use the shoulder of the stick to hit the edge of the cymbal pad (Hit
the edge sensor as shown in the illustration).
Foot splash
Edge sensor
Press and immediately release the pedal without using a stick.
This is equivalent to momentarily clashing the two cymbals of an
acoustic hi-hat. It produces a “splash” sound that is softer than the
open strike.
* Bow shots and edge shots can also be played on the hi-hat.
Choking a cymbal
Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand immediately
after hitting the cymbal will mute or choke the sound, just like with
a real cymbal.
* The Choke function only works when you grasp in the area
(where the edge sensor is) as shown in the illustration. If you do
otherwise, it will not work.

Problems with sound
ITA
Is the TD-1KPX correctly connected to the external devices?
Could the cable be connected to an output jack (instead of the input) of
the connected amplified speaker?
ESL
Check the connections.
POR
Are the cables correctly connected to the unit’s OUTPUT/PHONES jack?
No sound
NLD
Could an audio cable be broken?
Try using a different cable.
Check whether you hear sound through headphones.
If you hear sound in the headphones, there is a problem with the
connection cables or with the connected amplified speaker.
Could the TD-1KPX volume be lowered?
Could the volume of the connected amplified speaker be lowered?
Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
Could the volume be lowered on the device connected to the MIX IN jack?
Is the connection cable correctly connected to the TRIGGER INPUT
connector?
Check the connections.
Are the cables correctly connected to each pad and pedal?
A specific pad does not sound
Could the pad’s “Sensitivity” be lowered?
Adjust the pad’s “Sensitivity.”
Is the pad’s “Type” set correctly?
Set the pad’s “Type.”
No sound when you press the
kick pedal
Is the cable labeled KIK connected to the kick pad?
No sound when you press the
hi-hat pedal
Is the cable labeled HHC connected to the hi-hat pedal?
The sound of another pad is
also heard when you strike
the pad.
If multiple pads are attached to the same stand, the vibration of a strike
can be transmitted to another pad, causing it to sound inadvertently.
Check the connections.
Reattach the pad at a different location.
Two or more notes are sounded
Is the pad fastened to the stand?
when you strike once
Fasten the pad firmly to the stand.
Sounds do not play reliably
Is the pad’s mesh head tensioned evenly?
Adjust the mesh head tension. Slightly higher tension is good for
proper triggering.
Is the USB cable connected correctly?
Make sure that the USB cable is correctly connected.
Is the MIDI channel set correctly?
Set the MIDI channel of external MIDI device to 10.
Has the note number been set properly?
Check the pad’s “Note#.”

USING THE UNIT SAFELY
WARNING
CAUTION
Concerning the Auto Off function
Take care so as not to get fingers pinched
The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after a
predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used for
playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto Off
function). If you do not want the power to be turned off automatically,
disengage the Auto Off function (p. 5).
When handling the following moving parts, take care so as not to get
fingers, toes, etc., pinched. Whenever a child uses the unit, an adult
should be on hand to provide supervision and guidance.

Keep small items out of the reach of children
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make
sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage
specified on 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.
Use only the supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord. Also, the supplied power cord must
not be used with any other device.
