The feel of these pads is as important to the overall function of the ddrum4 SE sound engine as the sounds
themselves. The mesh heads make these pads extremely low on acoustic noise.

The Cast Precision Mesh Head Pads feature “silent” web drumheads for minimum acoustic noise. To
minimize the acoustic noise even more, the rim hoops of the pads are rubber coated. They are assembled
in conjunction with a cast aluminum shell.

Locate the Kick pad. It is one of the two 12 inch pads in the pad package, the one with only one XLR
connector on the back side and with a solid aluminum back side. The Snare pad comes in the same size
as the Kick pad but with two XLR connectors; one for the drumhead and one for the rim, and without
the aluminum back.
You need to assemble the L-shaped pedal attachment and the two chrome legs to the kick pad. The nec-
essary nuts, bolts and washers are located within the package that contains the legs. The only tool needed
is your drum key. The pedal attachment has three holes for the bolts and one square cut-out, for the con-
nector output. The shorter part of the L should point in the direction towards your playing position.
Place the pad with the drum head facing downwards on, e.g. a table. Locate the square connector housing
towards the edge of the table. Place the L-shaped attachment on top of the connector housing, short part
facing downwards. Insert a nut from underneath and a bolt through one of the holes from the top. Tight-
en the bolt with your fingers. You should use all three bolts to secure the pedal attachment to the kick pad.
Locate the points of attachment for the two legs on the cast aluminum rim of the pad. Take the eye-bolt
and insert the leg through it. Place the legs in the attachment, pushing the bolt through the hole in the
