9 About the memory clamp
The memory clamp aligns the pad at a xed height when it is attached.
When shipped, the memory clamp is attached at the recommended position for using the drum safely.
NOTE
If the memory clamp is moved or removed in order to adjust the position of the PDX-8 (snare), a greater length of the rod may protrude; take
care that the protruding rod does not cause injury.
Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as shown in
the gure at left. If one of the beater is further away from the center than the
other, the sound from the further beater will be lower in volume, or will not
sound as desired.
If you’re using twin pedals, the sensitivity will be lower than when a single
pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module.
For details, refer to “TD-1 Owner’s Manual.”
Adjusting the head tension
1. Adjust each tuning bolt a little at a time, moving in order from
one side to the opposite side as shown in the illustration.
The appropriate amount of tension is one that will provide
approximately the same striking response as on an acoustic
drum.
2. Use the drum key to adjust the tension as needed.
