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.
Note the following points, and make changes to the
attached positions.
5 Separate the pads so that they do not touch each
other.
5 Firmly tighten the pad attachment knob when
attaching it to the stand.
In some cases, sound from a monitor speaker might
cause unintended triggering.
5 Set up the pads at a distance from the speakers
5 Angle the pads, placing them where they are less
likely to be aected by the sound
5 Increase the pad’s minimum sensitivity value
(Threshold) (p. 19)
–
Two or more notes
are sounded when
you strike once
Is the pad fastened to the stand?
Fasten the pad rmly to the stand.

Sounds do not play
reliably
Is the snare and tom pad’s mesh head
tensioned evenly?
Adjust the mesh head tension. Use a drum key to
adjust the pad’s tuning bolts. Slightly higher tension
is good for proper triggering.
