014 Do not drop the unit!  
................................................................................................  
Do not apply excessive force to the sensor  
(and on the KD-80, the cushion) located  
below the center of the head of the KD-80,  
PD-80R, and PD-80. Doing so can interfere  
with accurate detection, and may damage it.  
To avoid personal injury and/ or damage to  
the unit, do not touch anything inside the  
frame of the PD-80 and PD-80R.  
................................................................................................  
................................................................................................  
Due to the nature of the materials used in the  
sensor of the KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80,  
changes in room temperature may affect the  
sensitivity of the sensor.  
104 Try to prevent cords and cables from  
becoming entangled. Also, all cords and  
cables should be placed so they are out of the  
reach of children.  
................................................................................................  
Please be aware that by using a felt beater for  
the KD-80, you risk causing damage to the  
head as a result of the metal portions of the  
beater that can become exposed when the felt  
wears thin. For the kick pedal, we

objects on the unit.  
................................................................................................  
118 Should you remove screws, nuts, bolts,  
springs, washers, etc., make sure to put them  
in a safe place out of children's reach, so there  
is no chance of them being swallowed  
accidentally.  
................................................................................................  
To keep the KD-80 and FD-6 from slipping or  
moving during play, the tips of the legs  
installed on the stand and the tips of the  
anchor bolts are pointed. Handle with care to  
avoid injury.  
................................................................................................  
Assemble the drum stand and TD-8KV  
carefully, to avoid pinching your fingers.  
................................................................................................  
Brushes can be used to play the PD-80R and  
PD-80. When using brushes, be sure to use  
nylon brushes. Using metal brushes will not  
only scratch the head, but can also be  
hazardous, since the tip of the brush may  
catch in the mesh of the net.  
................................................................................................  
Make sure to firmly tighten all clamps and  
bolts after you have assembled the stand and  
attached a pad or unit to it. You should  
probably also try to make a habit of checking  
and retightening them if necessary before  
every performance. You risk injury if you  
have loose screws or clamps, since a pad or  
unit can fall unexpectedly.  
................................................................................................  
The rubber portion of the PD-80Rs hoop is  
one component that eventually wears out  
(the more so if numerous rim shots are  
................................................................................................  
performed), and will require replacement.  
Errors may occur when attempting rim shots  
once the rubber portion has worn out. If this  
occurs, replace the hoop rubber. For more on  
replacing the hoop rubber, consult with your  
retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or  
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on  
the “Information” page.  
Be sure to tighten the head tension before  
using the KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80. Striking  
the head when the head tension is loose may  
damage the sensor and head.

to use headphones, so you do not need to be  
concerned about those around you (especially when  
it is late at night).  
357Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower  
vases) on the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecti-  
cides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc.,  
near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that  
spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

neous sounds produced when its 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.

connection cable, please note the following precau-  
tions.  
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 manufacturer of the

Tighten the bolts until you achieve the correct amount of  
space between the frame and the hoop, which is:  
KD-80: approximately 7.5 mm  
The KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80 are shipped  
from the factory with the head tension  
loosened. Be sure to adjust the tension  
PD-80R/PD-80: approximately 7 mm  
before use.

In general, a tension that produces a strike response  
approximately the same as an acoustic drum will be  
appropriate.

Striking the head when the head tension is loose  
may damage the sensor and head.  
7.5 mm  
Should you neglect to make the appropriate  
settings, you could likely experience the  
following problems:  
Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume).  
The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity).  
On the KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80, adjusting the head  
tension affects only the head response, and does not  
change the pitch of the sound, as it would on an acoustic  
drum.  
PD-8 0 R/ PD-8 0  
Hoop  
The head tension will change as the instrument is used,  
so you should readjust when necessary.  
7 mm  
The head stretches when used for extended periods, so  
even when properly adjusted to 7.5 mm (KD-80), or 7 mm  
(PD-80R and PD-80) by means of the following  
procedure, you may not achieve the same degree of  
tension as when the head was initially adjusted. Strike  
the head to check the feel and response as you adjust the  
tension.  
Frame  
Tighten each tuning bolt one by one, observing the  
numerical order shown in the diagram.  
Black strips, one 7.5 mm in length and the other 7 mm,  
are printed at the edge of this page. Use these for  
reference when making the adjustment.  
Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing  
so will make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and  
will cause malfunctions.

When the Head Should Be  
Replaced  
The head is an expendable item that eventually will wear out  
and need to be replaced. Replace the head when the following  
occurs:  
Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so  
will make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will  
cause malfunctions such as failure to accurately detect the  
striking location.  
The head surface is torn  
Striking points are no longer detected correctly, even  
when the head tension is properly adjusted.  
Slack portions remain in the head even after the head  
tension is properly adjusted.  
About the Lock Bushings  
The KD-80 and the PD-80R are provided with lock bushings to  
prevent rotation and loosening of the tuning bolts caused by  
vibration transmitted from the hoop.  
Replacement heads (optional)  
MH-8 Mesh Head: for either KD-80, PD-80R or PD-80  
If a lock bushing happens to become separated from the frame  
while the head is being replaced, position the bushing so its  
four slots are aligned with the corresponding ridges in the  
frame, then press down firmly on the bushing.

and BOW/ EDGE.  
This playing method involves striking the bell. It corresponds  
to the sound of the rim-sideof the connected trigger input.  
Use the BOW/ BELL output jack when you want to play the  
bow and the bell sounds (used as a ride cymbal); use the BOW/  
EDGE output jack when you want to play the bow and the edge  
sounds (used as a crash cymbal).  
To make use of bell shot, you'll need to connect to a  
trigger input jack on the percussion sound module that  
accommodates rim shots.  
Use either the BOW/ BELL or BOW/ EGDE output jack, but  
not both at the same time. Connecting both jacks results in two  
separate trigger inputs playing simultaneously.

Attaching the Anchor Bolts  
(When Using on the Carpet)  
To attach the stand holder, remove the four 12 mm  
screws (M5 x 12) from the bottom of the TD-8 and use  
them. Use of other screws may result in damage to the  
unit.  
When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of  
newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four  
corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons  
and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no  
buttons or controls get damaged.  
Anchor Bolt  
Spring for  
the Anchor Bolt  
When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to  
avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.  
The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.  
When using on flooring, the anchor bolts may damage  
the floor. Do not attach the anchor bolts.  
When the FD-6 is not going to be used for a long period  
of time, move and fix the arm, allowing longer travel for  
the pedal.  
To avoid damage, do not leave the FD-6 for extended  
periods of time with the pedal plate depressed.  
The TD-8 owner's manual assumes use of the FD-7 Hi-Hat  
Control Pedal. For each instance in which you find “FD-7”  
mentioned in the TD-8 owner's manual, please substitute the  
name “FD-6.”
