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] on the
TD-20.
The "VH offset" parameter is set automatically. (approx.
3 seconds)
[TRIGGER] stops flashing and remains lit.

If you need, make further adjustments to the parameters.
Refer to Hi-Hat Settings [F3 (HI-HAT)] (TD-20 owner's
manual; p. 46).
* If you adjust the value of "Noise Cancel," set it to the
minimum value required to prevent a noise.

Adjusting the Mesh Head of the
Pad (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.
