Before playing you must adjust the pad tension rst. You can
tune/adjust the head tension as you would with an acoustic

Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the head as
indicated in the illustration. This assures even tensioning.

Adjust the head tension before you perform. A slightly looser tuning will
make the beater response and rebound similar to that of an acoustic bass
drum.
Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the head.
This assures even tensioning.
