Set up example

• TP65 (Tom Pad)
  This pad is used for the system's snare drum, tom toms (x3) and hi-hat. Slide the pad onto the tom holder (hexagonal bar) attached to the rack system (RS40) and firmly tighten the clamp bolt to secure.
• PCY65 (Cymbal Pad)
  This pad is used for the system's crash and ride cymbals. Place the pad between the two felts and then secure onto the rack system's (RS40) cymbal holder.
• HH65 (Hi-Hat Control Pedal)
  This pedal is used to control the opening and closing of the hi-hat cymbal. Position the pedal underneath the rack mounted hi-hat cymbal pad (TP65) in a manner that provides both player comfort and pedal stability.

Adjusting the Pedal Stroke

• The pedal stroke can be adjusted to fit your particular playing needs.
• Change the position of the adjustment bolt to adjust the pedal's stroke.
• The stroke increases as the adjustment bolt is positioned higher and decreases as the adjustment bolt is positioned lower.
• Use the supplied drum key to loosen the square tightening bolt and adjust its position, then firmly tighten the square bolt to secure.

1. Assemble the KP65. As shown in the illustration, remove the base attachment wing bolts, washers and spring washers (4 each) that are attached to the main body, and use those to attach the base to the main body. Only loosely tighten the wing bolts in this step.
2. Attach the foot pedal (FP6110, shown below) to theKP65. When attaching the pedal, make sure that the pedal's hoop clamp firmly clamps onto the ridge that runs across the front of the KP65's base. Rotate the T-handled bolt to the left to loosen the hoop clamp and to the right to tighten.
3. Adjust the base's position so that the DP65 pad'splaying surface is vertical when the foot pedal is attached, and make sure that the KP65 is stable when the beater hits the pad. After the position is determined, firmly tighten the wing bolts to secure.
4. Adjust the pedal's position and the shaft length ofthe beater so that the foot pedal's beater hits in the center of the kick pad.

• FP6110 (Foot Pedal)
  The FP6110 foot pedal attaches to the KP65.
  First, assemble the pedal as shown in the illustration.
  

1. Insert the foot board stabilizer rods into the holeson the frame as shown in the illustration.
2. Attach the beater to the pedal as shown in the illus-tration, and use the beater fixing bolt to secure the beater in a suitable position.

If necessary, carry out the adjustments described below.

• Adjusting the Beater Angle
  Use a drum key (not supplied) to loosen the beater angle adjustment bolt and adjust the angle of the beater, then secure.
• Adjusting the Spring Tension
  The recoil tension of the foot board is adjustable.
  • To increase spring tension, loosen nut A then tighten nut B shown in the illustration.
  • To decrease spring tension, loosen nut B shown in the illustration. Once the desired spring tension has been obtained, firmly tighten nuts A and B.

Connections

Use the supplied 9ch snake cable to connect the pad's OUTPUTs to the pad inputs on the DTXPLORER Drum Trigger Module. Connect the cable's L-shaped plugs to the pads.

If the pads are positioned as shown in the illustration in the "Setup" section, follow the labels on 9ch snake cable's plugs (SNARE, TOM1, etc.) and connect the cable's plugs to their corresponding pads. If a setup other than the one shown above is used, connect the plugs to the pads according to the cable's length.

The PCY65 and KP65 are equipped with level adjustment knobs for adjusting the trigger output level. The pad's output level should be adjusted in regard to how hard you hit the pad when playing and the dynamic level which you require. Rotate the level adjustment knob to the right (+) to increase the output level, and to the left to decrease output level.

NOTE: Adjust the level so that the DTXPLORER'S input level display registers 90-95% when you play ff (fortissimo: the loudest playing level). Please refer to the Owner's Manual that came with the DTXPLORER for more information. Too high of an output level setting will result in a narrow dynamic range (the difference between loud and soft) or may produce trouble such as double triggers (a single hit produces multiple sounds), etc.

: Do not put excessive pressure on the level adjustment knob, it may result in damage.

Connecting an External Pad: KP65

The KP65's external pad input jack can be used to connect an additional pad to the system. In this case, the external pad's trigger signal is sent to the DTXPLORER's Input 9 (the KP65 is connected to Input 8).

NOTE: Any of the pads in the DTX series can be used as an external pad however, pads equipped with rim switches (TP65S, PCY65S, etc.) will not be able to produce sounds from their rims. Functions that utilize the rim switch (choke, mute) are also not available.
