BEFORE using the PDX-8 mesh pads you must adjust the tension.
You can tension mesh heads the same way you do with acoustic drums.
* Use a drum key to make adjustments.
Adjusting the tension of the PDX-8 head is only for playing response and will not affect the pitch as on an acoustic drum.
1. Use the included drum key to tighten the tuning
bolts.
Strike the head to check the feel and response.

Tighten the tuning bolts in the numerical order shown in the
following illustration. If you firmly tighten a tuning bolt at
one location all at once, it will be impossible to stretch the
head evenly, and this may cause triggering response
problems.
2. Tension the head evenly as you test the playing
feel, just as you would with an acoustic drum.
Head tension may slacken with the passage of time. Readjust
the tension as needed.
