Adjusting/Replacing the Head

Adjusting the Head Tension

When adjusting, use the included tuning key.

* Striking the pad while the head is loose may damage

the sensor. Furthermore, if you use the pad without

it being properly adjusted, you could likely

experience problems such as the following.

• Sometimes it does not sound (uneven

volume).

• The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity).

While continuing to check the feel and response,

use the tuning key to adjust all eight tuning

bolts until the tension is properly adjusted.

Always tighten the tuning bolts in the order

shown in the figure.

Replacing the Head

The head is an expendable item, whose performance deteriorates with

extended use. If the head has torn out or remains slack even after proper

adjustment, then replace the head.

Replacing the Head

When replacing, use the included tuning key.

1. Remove all tuning bolts and washers.

Go around and gradually loosen each one in order (by turning it counterclockwise).

2. Remove the hoop.

3. Remove the old head.

4. Place the new head on the frame.

5. Place the hoop onto the head.

Pass the tuning bolts through the washers, then attach them to the hoop and frame.

7. Tighten all eight tuning bolts until they lightly contact the hoop.

8. Next, adjust the tension of the head. Refer to “Adjusting the Head Tension.”

Specifications

962a

* In the interest of product improvement, the specifications and/or appearance of this

unit are subject to change without prior notice.

The proper tension is

achieved when the feel

and response of the head

as you strike the pad is

about the same as that of

an acoustic drum.

Head tension may change

with extended use of the

pad. Make adjustments as

needed.

On the V-PRACTICE PAD

(RP-2), adjusting the head

tension affects only the

head response, and does

not change the pitch of the

sound, as it would on an

acoustic drum.

Be careful not to lose the

tuning bolts and washers

that you removed.

uniform stretching

throughout the head,

which is one cause of

malfunction.
