Drum stand

Drum sound module/Pads/Others

Assemble the drum stand

• If you will be using this drum stand for an extended period of time in the same location, we recommend that you use a drum mat (TDM series) made by Roland to prevent the rubber feet from soiling the surface on which they are placed.

NOTE

• When setting-up or adjusting the stand, take care not to pinch your fingers between movable parts and the main unit. If using this in a location where children are present, be sure to provide adult supervision or guidance.
• Prepare an area in which you can perform the assembly safely.
• Do not use a power tool (e.g., an electric screwdriver) to assemble the stand. You risk damaging or stripping the screws.

Attaching the parts for the kick

1. Remove the cap that is attached to the stand’s right pipe (with one holder).

2. Insert the kick pad and mount holder (for the pedal plate), and provisionally fasten them in the orientation shown in the illustration.
   

3. Replace the cap.

4. Attach the pedal plate to the mount holder
   

Assembling the left and right arm sections
Lay the left and right arm sections on the floor while assembling them.

Left arm section

1. Using a drum key, loosen the bolt on the holder of straight pipe “L” (long), then insert curved pipe.
   As a general rule, insert curved pipe until the guide hole on the pipe can be seen through the gap in the holder. After firmly inserting it all the way, use the drum key to firmly tighten bolt.

2. Use the drum key to loosen the bolt of the drum sound module holder, then attach the drum sound module holder to straight pipe “L” (long) and tighten the bolt.
   

Right arm section

1. Using a drum key, loosen the bolt on the holder of straight pipe “R” (short) then insert curved pipe.
   As a general rule, insert curved pipe until the guide hole on the pipe can be seen through the gap in the holder. After firmly inserting it all the way, use the drum key to firmly tighten bolt.
   Position straight pipe “R” (short) so that its tip protrudes by about 7 cm (3 inches), and then tighten the holder.

Attach the left and right arm sections to the main unit

1. Use a drum key to loosen bolt of the holder “A” (attached to the left-side pipe (with two holders) of the stand), and insert left arm (of the assembly you created in step 2) into holder “A” of the stand.
   As a general rule, insert curved pipe until the guide hole on the pipe can be seen through the gap in the holder. After firmly inserting it all the way, use the drum key to firmly tighten bolt.
   

2. Lower the holder “B” attached to the stand’s right pipe, moving it down to the position shown in the illustration
   

3. Use the drum key to loosen bolt of the holder “B,” and insert right arm (of the assembly you created in step 2) into holder “B” of the stand.
   As a general rule, insert curved pipe until the guide hole on the pipe can be seen through the gap in the holder. After firmly inserting it all the way, use the drum key to firmly tighten bolt.

Attaching the snare pipe

1. Use the drum key to loosen bolt of the holder “C,” and insert the snare pipe into holder “C” of the stand. After firmly inserting it all the way, use the drum key to firmly tighten bolt.
   Insert the end of the snare pipe that doesn’t have a cap on it into holder “C.”
   

Adjusting the vertical pipes

1. Place the stand upright, then loosen the hand knobs of holders “A” and “B” (two places). Next, spread open the pipes at left and right.
2. Verify that the four vertical pipes are truly vertical. If the stand wobbles, loosen the bolts on the holders of straight pipes “L” (long) and “R” (short) and adjust the  height. After adjusting the height, tighten the bolts on the holders.
   

Attaching the pad mounts
The tips of the mounts are sharp. Handle them with care.

1. Attach mount holders to the top of the stand and tighten the respective hand knobs.

2. Attach the pad mounts to mount holder, and firmly tighten the respective hand knobs.

3. Attach mount holder to the snare pipe, and tighten the hand knob.
   

4. Attach pad mount (with memory clamp) to the snare pipe, and tighten the hand knob
   Right arm

5.  Attach pad mount to the snare pipe, and tighten the hand knob.
   
   

Attaching the cymbal mounts

1. Insert the two cymbal mounts and the hi-hat mount into the holders of the curved pipes, and adjust all the holders as shown in the illustration to complete setup.

For a left-handed setup
If you want to use a left-handed setup, assemble the stand as follows.

• Reattach the holders attached to the stand’s pipes so that there are two holders on the right and one on the left.
• Attach the kick pedal and the pedal plate to the left side of the stand.
• Assemble the left and right arm sections so that straight pipe “R” (short) is at the left and straight pipe “L” (long) and the drum sound module holder are at the right, and attach them to the stand.
• Attach the snare pipe to the right side of the stand.
• Attach the pad mounts and cymbal mounts as shown in the illustration.

Attach the parts

NOTE
When handling the hi-hat control pedal, kick pedal, or symbol pads, take care not to pinch your fingers between movable parts and the main unit. If using this in a location where children are present, be sure to provide adult supervision or guidance.
Attach the hi-hat / crash cymbal / ride cymbal (CY-5)

Adjusting the position of the cymbal
Adjust the rod height so that no part of any cymbal is higher than 1.2 meters (48 inches) above the floor.

Attach the cymbals in such a way that the center of the cymbal does not extend beyond the rear pipes of the stand.

Attach the snare (PDX-8) and toms (PDX-6A)

Connect the pads to the drum sound module (TD-1)

Connection procedure

1. Connect the cable to TD-1 as shown in the illustration.
   Insert the connector all the way, then turn the knobs to fasten it securely.

2. Labels indicating the pad to be connected are attached to the cable. Connect the cable to the OUTPUT jack of each pad as shown in the illustration.

• Insert the plug firmly, making sure it’s all the way in.
• Fasten the cables so that they will not obstruct your playing; use cable clips and cable ties. Make sure to wrap the cable ties around the pipes.
• Connect if you use the separately sold CY-5 and MDY-12 to add a cymbal. If you’re not adding a cymbal, “CR2” is not used. Leave the cap in place, and fasten the cable so that it will not hinder your performance.

Connect the AC adaptor and speakers

Connect the AC adaptor, speakers, or headphones as described in the TD-1 Owner’s Manual.

• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.

For a left-handed setup
Assemble the drum stand as described in “For a left-handed setup” of section ” 02 Assemble the drum stand”; then attach the parts and connect the cables as shown in the illustration at right.

This completes assembly and connections.  When you’ve finished making connections, turn on the power as described in the TD-1 Owner’s Manual, and verify that you can hear sound. About the memory clamp The memory clamp aligns the pad at a fixed height when it is attached. When shipped, the memory clamp is attached at the recommended position for using the drum safely.

NOTE
If the memory clamp is moved or removed in order to adjust the position of the PDX-8 (snare), a greater length of the rod may protrude; take care that the protruding rod does not cause injury.

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.
If you’re using twin pedals, the sensitivity will be lower than when a single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module. For details, refer to “TD-1 Owner’s Manual.”

Component names

NOTE
Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect the pad’s function.

PDX-8 (Snare) PDX-6A (Tom)
Component names

NOTE

• Be sure to adjust the head tension of the pad before use.
• The PDX-6A is a new unit designed specifically for the TD-1DMK. It does not support the use of the rim-shot technique.

Adjusting the head tension

1. Adjust each tuning bolt a little at a time, moving in order from one side to the opposite side as shown in the illustration. The appropriate amount of tension is one that will provide approximately the same striking response as on an acoustic drum.
2. Use the drum key to adjust the tension as needed.
