Position the two beaters equally apart
from the center of the pad as shown in
the fi gure at left. If one of the beater is
further away from the center than the
other, the sound from the further beater

Using a twin pedal will result in lower
sensitivity as compared to when a
single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity
on the sound module.
