(Add)

• Please be aware that by using a felt beater, you risk 

causing damage to the head as a result of the metal 
portions of the beater that can become exposed 
when the felt wears thin. For the kick pedal, we 
recommend that you use only the supplied beater, 
or a commercially available plastic beater.

below the center of the head. Doing so can interfere 
with accurate detection, and may damage it.

sensor, changes in room temperature may affect the 
sensitivity of the sensor.
