About the Sensitivity Setting
For beginning percussionists, we recommend setting the sensitivity level higher, in order to
give a more consistent sound volume, even if the pads are hit weakly. For experienced percussionists, we recommend setting it to lower levels. The strength at which pads are hit is
reflected directly, and more intense power is required to make a larger sound.

NOTE

• If the pedal sound volume is unstable, we recommend that you set the value to “P-F”.
• With an Electronic drum pad KP65 (sold separately) or Electronic kick unit KU100 (sold separately), the sound
volume might seem low. Try increasing the volume setting sensitivity value.

About the Pad Sound Mechanism
Each time you strike a pad, the sensor which is located at the bottom of the pad triggers an
electronic signal and makes a drum sound.
If you strike a pad too strongly, nearby sensors may also respond to the hit and trigger
unwanted sounds. This instrument is set to ignore weak signals from the pads in order to
prevent inadvertent, unwanted sounds. However, this may result in problems when intentionally striking two pads simultaneously. If one pad is struck strongly and the other weakly, the
pad struck weakly may not sound (even though you want it to).
To solve this, you can change the settings or alter your playing technique (as described
below).
 Striking two pads simultaneously results in one of the pads not sounding.
 Increase the pad sensitivity level. This may solve the problem if you strike one of the
pads weakly.
 Better yet, take care to strike both pads with equal force.
 Striking one pad results in other pads also sounding, even though they were not
struck.
 Lower the pad sensitivity level. With this setting, pads that are not struck are effectively kept from responding to strong hits on nearby pads.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Power suddenly and unexpectedly turns off.

This is normal and the Auto Power Off function may
have been activated (page 14). If desired, disable the
Auto Power Off function.

When the instrument is turned on, power is turned
off suddenly and unexpectedly.

The protection circuit has been activated due to over
current. This may occur when an AC adaptor other than
the one specified is used, or an AC adaptor is damaged.
Use the specified adaptor (page 54) only. If it should
appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.

A buzz or click occurs momentarily when the
instrument is turned ON or OFF

This is a normal power surge noise that occurs when
the POWER switch is operated.

The LED display is completely dark.

The batteries are low and should be replaced with a
complete set of six new batteries immediately. Ideally,
an optional AC adaptor should be used to power the
instrument.

When the pads are struck (or pedals are pressed),
the display is dark and returns to “1”.
The Custom Kit voice assignments or sensitivity
settings of each pads and pedals have disappeared or defaulted.

42

Cause/Solution

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off
the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers or
headphones when using the instrument with the
application on iPhone/iPad.

When you use the instrument along with the application
on your iPhone/iPad, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad in order to
avoid noise caused by communication.

No sound comes from the instrument.

• The volume is set too low. Adjust the volume (page
29).
• A plug is inserted into the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack
and should be taken out (page 14).
• The LOCAL ON/OFF is set to OFF. Set the LOCAL
ON/OFF to ON (page 40).

Suddenly “FUL” appears and recording is stopped.

The amount of recorded data has exceeded the limit of
7,000 notes per song.

Song is automatically started when pad is struck
(or pedal is pressed).

Pad Start is set to ON. Set Pad Start to OFF (page 30).

 The voice is recorded in stereo.


By assigning Closed and Open Hi-Hat voices to both the Pad and Foot Pedal 2,
those voices can be controlled with the Foot Pedal 2 as follows:
• Strike the pad while pressing the Foot Pedal 2, the “Closed” Hi- Hat voice
will sound.
• Strike the pad without pressing the Foot Pedal 2, the “Open” Hi- Hat voice
will sound.
• Press the Foot Pedal 2 without striking the pad, the Hi-Hat “Pedal” voice will
sound.

NOTE:
• Phrase data cannot be transmitted.
• The pan data for each voice is fixed and cannot be changed, regardless of the pad
assignments. For example, if a voice containing a “left” pan setting is assigned to a right
pad, the actual sound will come from the left.

Drum Score


 4 Beat (song No.045)

(RIDE)

In the notation above, eighth notes are to be played with a triplet feel (as shown in the notation below). For swing and shuffle rhythms, this straight notation is preferable to the triplet
indication since it is easier to read.

 Shuffle (song No.034)

Play the above pattern with a swing feel.

LIMITED 1-YEAR WARRANTY ON
PORTABLE DIGITAL DRUMS
Thank you for selecting a Yamaha product. Yamaha products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of defect-free
performance. Yamaha Corporation of America (“Yamaha”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into each and
every Yamaha product. Yamaha sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized dealers and is pleased to offer
you, the Original Owner, the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have been (1) directly purchased from
Yamaha’s authorized dealers in the fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “Warranted Area”) and (2) used exclusively in
the Warranted Area. Yamaha suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized
Yamaha dealer or Yamaha Customer Service if you have any questions.

Coverage: Yamaha will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or
otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor
or materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Yamaha specifications for new parts. If
Yamaha elects to replace the product, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. You will be responsible for any installation or
removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, Yamaha will
pay the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are covered by the warranty. This warranty does not
cover (a) damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from accident, negligence, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation
or failure to follow instructions according to the Owner’s Manual for this product; any shipment of the product (claims must be
presented to the carrier); repair or attempted repair by anyone other than Yamaha or an authorized Yamaha Service Center; (b) any
unit which has been altered or on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed; (c) normal wear and any periodic
maintenance; (d) deterioration due to perspiration, corrosive atmosphere or other external causes such as extremes in temperature
or humidity; (e) damages attributable to power line surge or related electrical abnormalities, lightning damage or acts of God; or (f)
RFI/EMI (Interference/noise) caused by improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if
applicable or (g) drum sticks. Any evidence of alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty
to be void. This warranty covers only the Original Owner and is not transferable.
In Order to Obtain Warranty Service: Warranty service will only be provided for defective products within the Warranted
Area. Contact your local authorized Yamaha dealer who will advise you of the procedures to be followed. If this is not successful,
contact Yamaha at the address, telephone number or website shown below. Yamaha may request that you send the defective product
to a local authorized Yamaha Servicer or authorize return of the defective product to Yamaha for repair. If you are uncertain as to
whether a dealer has been authorized by Yamaha, please contact Yamaha’s Service Department at the number shown below, or
check Yamaha’s website at www.Yamaha.com. Product(s) shipped for service should be packed securely and must be accompanied
by a detailed explanation of the problem(s) requiring service, together with the original or a machine reproduction of the bill of sale or
other dated, proof-of-purchase document describing the product, as evidence of warranty coverage. Should any product submitted
for warranty service be found ineligible therefore, an estimate of repair cost will be furnished and the repair will be accomplished only
if requested by you and upon receipt of payment or acceptable arrangement for payment.

Limitation of Implied Warranties and Exclusion of Damages: ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO
THE APPLICABLE PERIOD OF TIME SET FORTH ABOVE. YAMAHA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR DAMAGES BASED UPON INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER
EQUIPMENT OR OTHER ITEMS AT THE SITE OF USE OR INTERRUPTION OF PERFORMANCES OR ANY CONSEQUENCES.
YAMAHA’S LIABILITY FOR ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IS LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCT, AT
YAMAHA’S OPTION. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS OR THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state. This is the only express warranty applicable to the product specified herein; Yamaha neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to
assume for it any other express warranty.
