Inputs that allow rim shots: SNARE, TOM 1–3, AUX . Inputs that allow cross-stick: SNARE TD-4 Model name Pad type PD-125XS PD-125 PD-125X PD-125 PD-105X PD-105 . Inputs that allow rim shots: SNARE . Inputs that allow cross-stick: SNARE Before playing you must adjust the pad tension first. You can tune/adjust the head tension as you would with an acoustic drum, to get the same dynamic “feel.” The pad will function at it’s best if you are sure to: • Adjust the head evenly so that it does not sag. • Adjust the tuning bolts so that they are not loose. fig.19-e.eps.80 1. Adjust each tuning bolt little by little, across the head as indicated in the illustration. The assures even tensioning. • Fully tightening a tuning bolt at only a single location produces uneven tensioning, and correct playing dynamics may not be achieved. Even tuning/ tensioning is very important. • Head tension will not affect the actual tuning of the sound you are playing. For that you need to adjust sound parameters in the sound module you are using. Also, head tension may change depending on usage. Adjust as needed. Adjusting the Head Tension The performance of the head and/or hoop rubber will diminish with use over time. If the head is torn or becomes too fatigued, or impossible to tension correctly, then it should be replaced. If the hoop rubber is worn out, it too can be replaced. For replacement heads or to have the hoop rubber replaced, please contact your dealer or a Roland service center. Replacing the Head or Hoop Rubber Applying excessive force to the sensor located under the head can damage it and/or interfere with accurate triggering. 1. Remove all tuning bolts. Go around and loosen each bolt a little at a time by turning it counter-clockwise. 2. Remove the hoop and old head. 3. Place the new head and hoop on the shell. 4. Install all six tuning bolts. 5. Adjust the tension of the head. Refer to “Adjusting the head tension” above. Replacing the Head • Applying excessive force to the sensor located under the head can damage it and/or interfere with accurate triggering. • Be careful not to hurt your fingers on the corners or points of the metal parts. 1. Loosen all tuning bolts, and remove the hoop and head. 2. Remove the frame. 3. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the screw that fastens the covering by approximately two full turns. 4. Pull the fastening clip upward and out, and remove the covering. 5. Attach the new covering. Insert the lower part of the covering into the rubber groove so that the upper edge of the covering is in the position shown in the illustration. Both edges of the covering will fit into the gap between the shell and plate. 6. While pulling on both ends of the covering so as to eliminate any slack, finger-tighten the screw that holds the covering in place. 7. Using a Philips screwdriver, securely fasten the screw that holds the covering in place. 8. Attach the fastening clip in the location shown in the illustration, as if to pinch the two ends of the covering. Replacing the Shell Covering 9. Install the frame in the shell. The frame’s output jack will be pointing in the same direction as the bracket. 10. Attach the hoop and head, and tighten the tuning bolts. 11. Adjust the tension of the head. Refer to “Adjusting the Head Tension” (p. 7). Covering size PD-125XS/PD-125X • 77 (Width) x 927 (Length) mm • Maximum Thickness: 1 mm PD-105X • 77 (Width) x 767 (Length) mm • Maximum Thickness: 1 mm Head shots fig.Head.e Only playing the head and with certain snare sounds, the playing position will change the sound’s nuance. Playing Methods See the TD-20X/TDW-20/TD-20/TD-12 owner’s manual for more info about which sounds allow this. Rim shots fig.Rim.e Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously. Cross stick Only strike the rim of the pad. Depending on the instrument assigned to the rim you can play rim shots and/or cross stick sounds. To play the cross stick, be sure that you only strike the rim of the pad. Placing your hand on the head of the pad might prevent the cross stick sound from being played properly. With certain snare and tom sounds, slight changes in the way you play rim shots changes the nuance. Normal rim shots (open rim shots) Strike the head and rim simultaneously. Change the Nuance of the Rim Shot (Only with the TD-20X/TDW-20/TD-20/ TD-12) Shallow rim shots Simultaneously strike the head near the rim and the rim itself. • See the TD-20X/TDW-20/TD-20/TD-12 owner’s manual for more info about which sounds allow this. • For more information on the trigger inputs of the various sound modules that support the use of rim shots, refer to p. 6.
