PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also,
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage
is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (page 64) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in
damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• Under no circumstances should any of the components of this product be taken apart
or customized. Doing so could result in electric shock, fire, injury, or malfunction.
• Do not sit or stand on the rack. Doing so could cause it to fall over or break,
possibly causing injury.
• Be careful with the holders for cymbal and tom pads as they have sharp tips. In
order to avoid injury, therefore, you should take special care whenever handling
these components.
• Be careful with the anti-slip stoppers on kick pads and foot pedals as they have
sharp tips. In order to avoid injury, therefore, you should take special care
whenever handling these components.
• Securely tighten fixing nuts and other fasteners. In addition, be sure to immediately
tighten any nuts that have come loose. If this precaution is not observed, pads may
fall off or the rack may collapse or fall over, possibly causing injury.
• Take care when setting up cables. If anyone were to trip on a cable, the instrument
could topple over and cause injury.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions,
place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids
which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the
instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC
outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall
over and cause a fire.
• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch
and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected by
Yamaha service personnel.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- It emits unusual smells or smoke.
- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the
plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.
Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage
to the instrument or even injury.
• Do not place hands or feet under a foot switch or foot pedal. Doing so could result
in injury.
• Do not use the electronic drum kit’s rack to hold acoustic drums. Doing so could
cause clamps to break and the drums to fall off, which in turn could lead to injury.
• Mind your fingers when adjusting clamps. Fingers can easily be caught and
crushed if care is not taken during this operation.
• Be careful with the tips of supports, arms, screws, and the like. Fingers can easily
be injured by sharp tips if these components are not handled carefully.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to
the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily
accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power
switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is
turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When
you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord
from the wall AC outlet.
• Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or
rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the
internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components,
set all volume levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and
gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired
listening level.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel.
This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or
other property, or operational failure.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high
or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If
you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to the prod-
uct, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow
the notices below.
Handling and Maintenance
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio,
stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric
devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may
generate noise.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibra-
tions, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight,
near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the
possibility of panel disfiguration, damage to the internal
components or unstable operation. (Verified operating
temperature range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the
instrument, since this might discolor the panel or key-
board.
• When cleaning the drum module, be sure to use a clean,
dry cloth. Cleaning products that contain organic sol-
vents, paint thinner, detergents, and chemically-treated
cleaning cloths can cause discoloration and/or warping
and should not be used.
• When cleaning the pads, avoid cleaning products that
contain organic solvents, paint thinner, and alcohol as
they can cause discoloration and/or warping. Instead,
we recommend that you remove dust using a soft dry
cloth or wipe clean with a moist, tightly-wrung-out cloth.
If a pad is very dirty, wipe the dirt away using a cloth
moistened with a neutral detergent solution and tightly
wrung out. Following this, wipe away the detergent solu-
tion using a cloth soaked in water and tightly wrung out.

Setting Up for Sound
1. Ensure that your drum module is turned off (i.e., none
of the buttons are lit).
2. Insert the power adaptor’s DC plug into the
[] connector on the left side of the
module.
3. Hook the power adaptor’s cord around the cord clip to
prevent it from being accidentally pulled out.
4. Plug the power adaptor’s AC power cord into an AC
wall socket or another electrical outlet.
Your drum module does not have built-in speakers. In order
to hear it, therefore, you will need to connect headphones or
monitor speakers via the [PHONES/OUTPUT] standard
stereo-audio jack. You can adjust the output volume using
the [VOLUME] buttons on the control panel.
You can connect a portable music player or another similar
source of audio to your drum module via the [AUX IN]
(auxiliary input) stereo mini-jack. This makes it possible to
play along with your favorite tunes.
Connecting the Power
CAUTION
Excessive bending can damage the power adaptor
cord and create a fire hazard. Ensure, therefore, that
the power cord is not bent at an extreme angle when
wrapped around the clip.
WARNING
Use only the power adaptor that came with your drum
module.

Connecting Headphones or Speakers
The [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack is a stereo connector. You can con-
nect a 1/4” mono-audio jack to it, but in such a case, please be
sure to set the output to mono using the Stereo/Mono parameter
from Menu Mode (page 53).
CAUTION
To prevent hearing loss, avoid using headphones at a
high volume for extended periods of time.
Connecting a Music Player
• Whenever connecting other devices, ensure that the cables you
use have plugs that match the input or output connectors on
those devices.
• Before making connections, furthermore, you should also turn
the volume on the other devices fully down.
• When all connections have been made, use each device’s vol-
ume controller to balance its output with that of the drum mod-
ule.

drum module while holding down the [TRAINING] button.
The function will remain off until you set a new Auto
Power-Off time.
Straight out of the box, your drum module already contains
a wide range of pre-programmed drum kits and songs.
These default settings—collectively known as the Factory
Set—can be conveniently restored at any time if you have
accidentally overwritten them or wish to delete all of your
own settings. To do so, use the Factory Set function as fol-
lows.
1. Press the [ ] (Standby/On) button and verify that the
drum module turns off.
2. Turn on the drum module while holding down the
[VOLUME+] button and the [VOLUME–] button.
The drum module’s lights will flash and the Factory Set
will be restored.
Turning On the Drum Module
Connect the hi-hat controller before turning on the drum
module. Please do not turn the drum module on with the hi-
hat controller depressed. The drum module can not identify
the type of pedal properly and it causes that the kick may
produce much smaller sound than expected.
Turning Off the Drum Module
CAUTION
When setting up the product, make sure that the AC
outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trou-
ble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is
still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When
you are not using the product for a long time, make
sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
The drum module automatically stores all current settings
before it turns off. For this reason, please do not unplug the
power adaptor until all button lights have gone out.
Auto Power-Off
The drum module automatically stores all current settings before
it turns off.
NOTE
NOTICE
NOTE
• In certain modes of operation, the Auto Power-Off function will
not turn off the drum module when the set time has elapsed. We
recommend, therefore, that you always turn off the drum module
manually when you are finished using it.
• If you expect the drum module to be inactive for a certain length
of time while connected to other audio equipment, we recom-
mend that you turn the volume on the other equipment fully
down. Alternatively, you can disable the Auto Power-Off function
to ensure that the drum module stays on.
• Settings for the Auto Power-Off function do not represent exact
times and there may be some variation.
• By default, the Auto Power-Off time is set to 30 minutes.
Restoring the Default Settings
(Factory Set)
When you restore the Factory Set as described below, any
changes you have made to parameters will be lost. Before pro-
ceeding, therefore, you should ensure that they contain no irre-
placeable settings.
