• Do not apply excessive force to the sensor located below
the center of the head of the PD-105. Doing so can
interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it.
• Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor of
the PD-105, changes in room temperature may affect the
sensitivity of the sensor.
Adjusting the Head Tension
When adjusting, use the tuning key supplied with the FD-8.
Be sure to adjust the head tension of the
PD-105 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.
• If you should neglect to make the appropriate
settings, you could likely get uneven volume.

• 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 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.
• The hoop's rubber portion is one component that
eventually wears out (the more so if numerous rim shots
are performed), and will require replacement. Rim shots
may not be performed correctly when the rubber portion
is worn out. If this occurs, replace the hoop. Consult
Roland Service for more on replacing the hoop.
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.
