Adjusting the Head Tension

When adjusting, use a tuning key.

Heads MUST BE TUNED BEFORE PLAYING.

Like with an acoustic drum, accurate and equal head tension is needed for correct triggering response.

1

Loosen the tuning bolts until a slight gap is produced.

2

Tighten all tuning bolts by fingers, as tightly as you can.

Using the tuning key, turn the tuning bolts two full revolutions each, thus tightening them.

For Accurate Positional Sensing

Correct head tension is needed for this function to perform correctly. (TD-20, TD-10, and TD-8 respond in different ways. See the respective owner’s manual.)

On the PD-125/105, adjusting the head tension affects only the head response, and not the pitch of the sound, as it would on an acoustic drum.

Head tension may change over a period of time, so readjust when necessary.
