Adjusting the Head Tension
When adjusting, use the tuning key supplied with the VH-11.
Be sure to adjust the head tension
before use.
In general, a tension that produces a strike response
approximately the same as an acoustic drum will be
appropriate.
• Striking the head when the head tension is loose
may damage the sensor and head.
• Should you neglect to make the appropriate
settings, you could likely experience the
following problems:
Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume).
The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity).
• On the PD-105, 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.
• The head tension will change as the instrument is used,
so you should readjust when necessary.
• The head stretches when used for extended periods, so
even when this is adjusted in the following procedure,
you may not achieve the same degree of tension as when
the head was initially adjusted. Strike the head to check
the feel and response as you adjust the tension.
