Pad Not Playing Correctly

For fullest expression in performance, we recommend the exclusive use of Roland pads.

Is the KD-80, KD-85, KD-120, PD-80, PD-80R, PD-85, PD-100, PD-105, PD-120, PD-125 or RP-2 head tightened uniformly?

Refer to the owner’s manual for the pad you are using, then adjust the head tension.

If pad volume or other quality is unstable, making the head tension somewhat tighter improve stability.
