Getting Ready to Play
Before you begin playing, use the included drum key to adjust
the head tension for the desired strike response. The head is NOT
tuned before shipping.
Always tighten the tuning bolts in the order shown in the figure.
fig.TuningBolt.eps
If the head is tensioned too tightly, you won’t be able
to use the RMP-12’s performance functions correctly.
To learn more about tensioning the head, please watch
the included “Application Guide DVD” in conjunction
with this manual.
Failure to adjust the tension may result in damage to
the head.
Head tension may change with extended use. Make
adjustments as needed.
If you won't be using the RMP-12 for an extended
period of time, please loosen the head tension.
Caution when attaching the RMP-12 to a
commercially available snare stand
• If you use a commercially available snare stand designed for
performing while standing, choose a model that is able to
securely accommodate a 12-inch diameter snare.
• Make sure to fully spread the legs of the stand.
• Place the RMP-12 so that its sound module is above one of
the legs of the stand.
• Take care that the fasteners of the stand do not pinch the
cable that connects the RMP-12’s pad and sound module.
• The RMP-12 is heavier on the side where the sound module
is located. Take care not to drop the RMP-12 when placing it
on the stand.

Using the Cable Tie

The cable that connects other equipment to the RMP-12 can be
fastened to the stand using the included cable tie; this will make
it less likely that the cable can be pulled out accidentally.

Allowing some slack in the cable, fasten it to the

stand using the cable tie.
