IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

301

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by

an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such

as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner).

Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power

supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible

noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a

power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consec-

utive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

307

• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn

off the power on all your equipment before you make any connections.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing

large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem,

change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the

source of interference.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use

this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell

phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur

when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.

Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such

wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch

them off.

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that

radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it

to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/

or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form

inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use

the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must

allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has

completely evaporated.

360

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which

you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You

can place a V-Drums Mat (sold separately) or cloth under the rubber feet

to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the

unit will not slip or move accidentally.

361

• Do not place containers or anything else containing liquid on top of this

unit. Also, whenever any liquid has been spilled on the surface of this

unit, be sure to promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has

been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a

cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be

sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the

possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

452

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost

when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be

written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is

taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when

circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may

not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability

concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as

a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To

protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we

recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data

you written down on paper.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that

was stored in the unit’s memory once it has been lost. Roland Corpo-

ration assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders,

or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough

handling can lead to malfunctions.

554

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

556

• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull

on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the

cable’s internal elements.

558

• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit’s volume at

reasonable levels.

558d

• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds

produced when it’s 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 others

nearby.

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including

padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use

equivalent packaging materials.

562

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incor-

porate 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

cable.

567

• When adjusting or folding up the stand, take due care so as not to get

your fingers pinched between the movable parts and this unit. In places

where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides

supervision and guidance.

• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a preservative

to maintain its performance. With the passage of time, this preservative

may appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how the pads were

struck during product testing. This does not affect the performance or

functionality of the product, and you may continue using it with confi-

dence.

• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not

affect the Pad’s function.

985

• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what

should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit

may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes

newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always

match what appears in the manual.

Here are some basic terms related to drum sets.

* The indications in parentheses ( ) show the names used on

the TD-4KP.

Bass Drum (Kick)

Played with a kick pedal, it’s the largest drum in the kit.

Snare Drum

The snare drum is the main “voice” of a drum kit.

Hi-Hat/Hi-Hat Pedal

An acoustic hi-hat uses 2 cymbals mounted on a hi-hat stand.

Pressing the hi-hat pedal opens and closes it.

The TD-4KP uses a single pad.

Tom (Tom 1, Tom 2)

These are usually mounted above the bass drum.

Floor Tom (Tom 3)

Sometimes called a bass tom, it either stands on it’s own legs or is

mounted on a stand.

Ride Cymbal

Usually mounted on the right side of the kit, the ride cymbal is

principle elements in keeping time.

Crash Cymbal

Smaller than the ride, the crash cymbal is mainly used for accents.

Playing

Drums are played using both hands and both feet. Here we’ll explain how to hold the sticks and use the pedals.

Holding the Sticks

The most common way to hold the sticks is called the “matched

grip” as shown in the illustrations below.

Left hand

Right hand

Using the Kick Pedal

The kick pedal can be pressed in either of two ways: “heel up” or

“heel down.”

Heel down

In this method, the entire bottom of your foot from heel to toe

stays in contact with the pedal. Use your ankle joint to make your

toes push down the pedal. This method allows more precise

control of the volume, and is often used in jazz and bossa nova.

Heel up

In this method, your heel floats above the pedal. With your heel off

the pedal, lower your entire foot to push down the pedal. This

method applies the full weight of your foot to the pedal, making it

easier for you to produce a stronger sounds than the heel down

method. This is often used in rock and pop.

Using the hi-hat

In an acoustic drum set, the hi-hat consists of two cymbals placed facing each other vertically on a hi-hat stand. The two cymbals can be

closed together by pressing the pedal.

A variety of playing techniques are possible, such as playing the cymbals with the pedal and/or playing them with sticks.

When you press the pedal, the two cymbals will come together (closed). When you release the pedal, the two cymbals will separate

(opened).

The TD-4KP lets you use five different hi-hat performance techniques.

Closed

With the hi-hat pedal pressed firmly, strike the pad with a stick. A

short “chick” sound will be heard.

Half-open

With the hi-hat pedal pressed gently, strike the pad with a stick. A

slightly longer “swish” sound will be heard.

Open

With the hi-hat pedal completely released, strike the pad with a

stick. An even longer “sound” than the half-open sound will be

heard.

Foot closed

Just press the pedal without using a stick. This sound will be softer

and shorter than the closed sound played with a stick. Useful for

keeping time with this tight sound.

Foot splash

Press and immediately release the pedal without using a stick.

This is equivalent to momentarily clashing the two cymbals of an

acoustic hi-hat. It produces a “splash” sound that is softer than the

open strike.

Playing

You can use dedicated buttons to quickly tune or muffle the sound. When you press the button, the sound you selected will be heard.

You cannot make tuning or muffling settings for pads to which an instrument (p. 27) in the cymbal-type instrument group (HIHAT,

CRASH, RIDE) is assigned. For such pads, the display will indicate “- - -.”

fig.P-Tuning.eps

1. Press the [TUNING] button so it’s lit.

The TUNING screen appears.

The selected pad will sound at this time.

fig.d-Tuning-1.eps

2. Strike the pad that you want to tune.

The pad you struck will blink in the screen.

fig.d-Tuning-2.eps

3. While striking the pad to hear the sound, turn the [-

/+] dial to adjust the tuning.

Value: -600–0–+600

A negative (-) value will lower the pitch, and a positive (+)

value will raise the pitch.

4. Repeat steps 2–3 to adjust the tuning of each pad.

5. When you’ve finished tuning, press the [TUNING]

button to turn it off.

fig.P-Muffling.eps

1. Press the [MUFFLING] button so it’s lit.

The MUFFLING screen appears.

The selected pad will sound at this time.

fig.d-Muffling-1.eps

2. Strike the pad that you want to muffle.

The pad you struck will blink in the screen.

fig.d-Muffling-2.eps

3. While striking the pad to hear the sound, turn the

[-/+] dial to adjust the muffling.

Value: 0–10

Raising this value reduces the resonance and decay (length)

of the sound.

4. Repeat steps 2–3 to adjust the muffling of each

pad.

5. When you’ve finished adjusting the muffling, press

the [MUFFLING] button to turn it off.

By connecting a portable audio/CD player to the MIX IN jack you can play the TD-4 with your favorite songs.

You can connect other audio devices as well.

Connections

Lower the volume of the TD-4 and your audio player before

making connections.

fig.Connect-iPod.eps

* If a connection cable has built-in resistors, the volume level of

the source connected to the TD-4 (MIX IN) may be too low. If

this occurs, use connection cables that do not contain

resistors.

Playback

1. Start the music on your portable audio player.

For details on how to use your audio player, refer to its

owner’s manual.

2. Then adjust the volume of your portable audio

player.

Sounds received at the MIX IN jack are output from the

OUTPUT and PHONES jacks.

* Adjust the volume on the audio player to get the right

balance between it and the TD-4.

3. Adjust the volume of the TD-4.

Playing Along with a Portable Audio Player

If Head/Rim Link (p. 36) is “ON,” both the HEAD and the RIM settings will be edited simultaneously.

In some cases, you may see an “*” in the right side of the screen; this indicates that the tuning/muffling values specified for the

HEAD and the RIM are different.
