Roland PD-85 - Dual-Zone 8" V-Pad for TD-Series Modules (Black) - Manual (Page 2)

2
• Snare/tom pad with embedded-mesh head for superior
playing feel, and quiet response.
• Compact, eight-inch pad allows for greater versatility
when setting up.
• You can use cross-stick (closed rim shot), and rim shot
playing techniques.
• Brushes (nylon) can be used for brush playing.
• Tonal changes can be expressed by varying the location
at which the pad is struck.
When adjusting, use the included tuning key.
• On the PD-85, 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 tension will change as the instrument is used,
so you should readjust when necessary.
1. Use the included tuning key to tighten the
tuning bolts.
Tighten the bolts to keep the space even all around
between the frame and the hoop.
fig.Adjust.e
Tighten each tuning bolt one by one, observing the
numerical order shown in the diagram. Do not firmly
tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make
it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause
malfunctions.

2. Tension the head evenly while checking the feel
of striking the pad.
Normally, it would be appropriate if the tension is the
same as an acoustic drum.
Features
Adjusting the Head Tension
Be sure to adjust the head tension
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.
Should you neglect to make the appropriate settings, you
could likely experience the following problems:
• Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume).
• The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity).
Keep the space
even all around.
