Adjusting the Offset

When using the VH-12, the "VH Offset" needs to be set up.
1. Loosen the clutch of the top hi-hat and let it sit
on the bottom hi-hat.
* Do NOT touch the hi-hats or the pedal.
2. Hold down [KIT] and press [TRIGGER].
The "VH offset" parameter is set automatically. (approx.
3 seconds)
[TRIGGER] stops flashing and remains lit.

Adjusting Mesh Head
Tension (PD-125/105)
Heads MUST BE TUNED BEFORE PLAYING.
When adjusting, use a tuning key.
Like with an acoustic drum, accurate and equal head tension
is needed for correct triggering response.
On the PD-125/105, adjusting the head tension affects
only the head response, and not the pitch of the sound, as
it would on an acoustic drum.
1. Loosen the tuning bolts until a slight gap is
produced.
2. Tighten all tuning bolts by fingers, as tightly as
you can.

3. Using the tuning key, turn the tuning bolts two
full revolutions each, thus tightening them.
Tighten each tuning bolt one by one, observing the
numerical order shown in the figure.
