Replacing the Head or Hoop
Rubber
The performance of the head and/or hoop rubber
will diminish with use over time. If the head is torn or
becomes too fatigued, or impossible to tension correctly,
then it should be replaced. If the hoop rubber is worn
out, it too can be replaced.
For replacement heads or to have the hoop rubber
replaced, please contact your dealer or a Roland service
center.
