Use the included drum key to adjust the tension.
In general, a tension that produces a strike response
approximately the same as an acoustic bass drum will be
appropriate.
* Head tension that is too loose may not only cause incorrect
operation, but may even damage the sensor.

1.
Check the current tension of the head.
2.
Remove the kick pedal from the KD-120.
3.
Adjust bolt ‘1’ in the above diagram. Rotate it
clockwise to tighten the head tension, or slightly
counterclockwise to loosen the tension.
* Fully tightening a tuning bolt at only a single location
produces uneven tensioning, which may make it impossible
to obtain the proper strike sensitivity and may even result in
incorrect operation. Be sure to tighten each tuning bolt a
little at a time, as described in the above explanation.
4.
Adjust bolt ‘2’ so that the tension is the same as the
tension of ‘1’.
5.
Next adjust ‘3’ and ‘4’, and ‘5’ and ‘6’ in the same
way.
6.
Make sure that the head tension is even, and repeat
steps 5 and 6 if you wish to make further
adjustments.
* On the KD-120, adjusting the head tension affects only the
head response, and does not change the pitch of the sound
as it would on an acoustic drum. To adjust the pitch, edit the
sound parameters of the TD-12. For details refer to the TD-12
owner’s manual.
* The head tension will change as the instrument is used, so
you should readjust when necessary.
7.
Mount the kick pedal on the KD-120.
