Adjusting the Head Tension
Before playing, you must adjust the pad tension first.
You can tune/adjust the head tension as you would with
an acoustic drum, to get the same dynamic “feel.”
NOTE
The pad will function at it’s best if you are sure to:
• Adjust the head evenly so that it does not sag.
• Adjust the tuning bolts so that they are not loose.

1.
Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the
head as indicated in the illustration.
NOTE
Fully tightening a tuning bolt at only a single
location produces uneven tensioning, and correct
playing dynamics may not be achieved or may even
cause malfunctions. Even tuning/tensioning is very
important.
2.
Adjust the tightness of each tuning bolt so that
the head is tensioned evenly.
MEMO
• Head tension will not affect the actual tuning of the
sound you are playing. For that you need to adjust
sound parameters in the sound module you are
using. For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your
sound module.
• Also, head tension may change depending on usage.
Adjust as needed.
