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.

1. Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the head.

2. Adjust the tightness of each tuning bolt so that the head is tensioned

evenly.

Before playing you must adjust the pad tension rst.

You can tune/adjust the head tension as you would with an

acoustic drum, to get the same dynamic “feel.”

1. Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the head as

indicated in the illustration.

2. Adjust the tightness of each tuning bolt so that the head

is tensioned evenly.

an acoustic drum. Pitch adjustments are made by editing

the sound in your drum sound module.
