Using the Yamaha XP125T - M drum pad is easy. First, connect the main unit to your audio system using the provided stereo phone cable. You can start playing right away. When playing, use the 2 - zone technology to get different tones from the head and the rim of the pad. To keep it in good condition, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity. Clean the 2 - ply mesh head gently with a soft cloth. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a dry and safe place. Also, make sure to read the owner's manual for more detailed information and safety instructions.
