Detailed explanation of each part ■■ VH-11 (Hi-hat) * Use a commercially available hi-hat stand. If you’re using the VH-11 V-hi-hat, execute the offset adjustment from the TD-9 after making connections. This adjustment is required in order to correctly detect open, close, and pedal operations. 01 Adjusting the offset. 1. Loosen the clutch screw and let the hi-hat rest naturally on the motion sensor unit. 2. Press the [SETUP]-[F1] (TRIG) button. 5. While you watch the meter that’s displayed in the right side of the screen, turn the VH-11’s VH offset adjustment screw to adjust it. Adjust the screw so that the black appears in the meter. 1. Adjust the gap between the metal portion in the center of the lower hi-hat and the sensor’s center tip to a clearance of approximately 3 mm, then tighten the clutch screw. The “TRIGGER TYPE” screen will appear. 3. Use the [CURSOR] button to move the cursor to “H” (HI-HAT). Fixing the cables 02 Adjusting the hi-hat. VH offset adjustment screw 3mm Wind the cable tie once * Although the gap can be adjusted to a clearance that makes playing the hi-hat easier, setting too narrow or wide a gap can cause improper function of the unit and prevent the hi-hat from sounding as you intend. Setting the gap to 3 mm provides the most natural feel when playing the VH-11. 4. Press the [F3] (ADVNCD)-[F3] (HI-HAT) button. The following screen will appear. OPEN CLOSE Tighten it not to slip Leave some slack in the cables Turn back to fix the cables 2. Change the spring tension by adjusting the hi-hat stand. * The tension may not be adjustable on some stands. NOTE * When performing, make sure that the name “Roland” on the hi-hat is on the opposite side of the stand from the hi-hat pedal. If the closed hi-hat sound is difficult to attain, rotate the VH offset adjustment screw towards “CLOSE.” If the open hi-hat sound is difficult to attain, rotate the screw towards “OPEN.” * If the sound cuts off when you strike the hi-hat forcefully, rotate the VH Offset adjustment screw towards “OPEN.” NOTE * Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect the Pad’s function. * If the hi-hat clutch has been detached from the hi-hat, refer to “If the Clutch Was Apart from the Hi-Hat” in the owner’s manual.

Attach the kick pedal 01 ■■ CY-12C (Crash) on the kick pedal and make sure 02 Step that it’s properly attached and in a stable When Using a Twin Pedal Position the beater so that it strikes the center of the head, then secure the kick pedal and KD-9 firmly in place. Beater Bell * Depending on how you’re using the unit, the bolts that attach the pedal to the plate could become loose, causing the pedal to rattle during performance. In such cases, use commercially available tools to tighten the bolts.

KD-9 component names NOTE * Install the kick pedal securely. * Take care not to pinch your fingers. When using the kick pedal on a carpet or on a drum mat (TDM series), the slip-prevention tape that’s on the base should prevent the KD-9 from moving around. However, if that’s not enough to keep the KD-9 in a fixed position, you can adjust When using on the floor things so that the tips of the anchor bolts protrude through the base. That should keep it in place and make it easier for you to play. Fixing the cables (CY-12C/CY-13R) Leave some slack in the cable Check to be sure they’re making contact with the floor When using on the carpet or drum mat CY-13R component names Pad face Check to make sure that the base of the KD-9 and the kick pedal both make contact with the floor. Install the kick pedal securely. 03 Adjusting the Anchor Bolts CY-12C component names position. 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. Using a twin pedal will result in lower sensitivity as compared to when a single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module. For details, see “Editing the pad settings [F2] (BASIC)” in the owner’s manual. ■■ CY-13R (Ride) Wind a cable tie around a cable. * When used on flooring, the anchor bolts may damage the floor. * The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care. Head OUTPUT jack Insert the small plastic hook to a hole to secure the cable to the cymbal arm.

Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it. * Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor of the PD-85/ PD-105, changes in room temperature may affect the sensitivity of the sensor. Drum key Hoop’s rubber portion Washer * The rubber portion of the hoop is a consumable item that will undergo wear with use over time, depending on the number and strength of rim shots. Playing rim shots on the worn rubber portion may cause malfunctions. If this occurs, the hoop rubber should be replaced. Please contact Roland customer service regarding replacement of the hoop rubber.
