Adjust the head tension before you perform. A slightly looser tuning will
make the beater response and rebound similar to that of an acoustic bass
drum.
Setup Guide
Before playing you must adjust the pad tension fi rst. You can
tune/adjust the head tension as you would with an acoustic
drum, to get the same dynamic “feel.”
Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the head as
indicated in the illustration. This assures even tensioning.
