Before playing you must adjust the pad tension first.
You can tune/adjust the head tension as you would with an
acoustic drum, to get the same dynamic “feel.”
The pad will function at it’s best if you are sure to:
• Adjust the head evenly so that it does not sag.
• Adjust the tuning bolts so that they are not loose.

1.
Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the
head as indicated in the illustration. The assures
even tensioning.
• Fully tightening a tuning bolt at only a single location
produces uneven tensioning, and correct playing
dynamics may not be achieved. Even tuning/
tensioning is very important.
• Head tension will not affect the actual tuning of the
sound you are playing. For that you need to adjust
sound parameters in the sound module you are
using.
Also, head tension may change depending on usage.
Adjust as needed.
The performance of the head and/or hoop rubber will
diminish with use over time. If the head is torn or becomes
too fatigued, or impossible to tension correctly, then it
should be replaced. If the hoop rubber is worn out, it too can
be replaced.
For replacement heads or to have the hoop rubber replaced,
please contact your dealer or a Roland service center.
Applying excessive force to the sensor located under
the head can damage it and/or interfere with accurate
triggering.
