Getting ready to play
BEFORE using the PD-105/85 mesh pads you must adjust the
tension.
Use a drum key to make adjustments.
You can tension mesh heads the same way you do with
acoustic drums.
Adjusting the tension of the PD-105/85 head is only for
playing response and will not affect the pitch as on an
acoustic drum.
Adjusting the PD-105 head
1. Loosen all six tuning bolts until a gap appears
between the tuning bolt and the hoop.
2. Finger-tighten all six tuning bolts.
3. Using the drum key, tighten each of the six tuning
bolts by two rotations.
Tighten the tuning bolts in the numerical order shown by
the following illustration.
Tensioning the PD-85 head
1. Use the included drum key to tighten the tuning
bolts.
Adjust the bolts so that the gap between the frame and
hoop is consistent all the way around the hoop.
As the bolts have lock bushings (to prevent them from
loosening), it will take some effort to turn them.
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.
