When installing the drum set, make sure the legs of the tripod are opened wide enough to keep the equipment from falling over. 4 * The figure shows the PD-125. * The only difference between the PD-125 and the PD-105 is the diameter. fig. Use a Stereo cable to make connections. If you use a monaural cable, rim shots cannot be played. You can play rim shots when the pad is connected to the trigger input shown below. Rim Shot Capable Trigger Inputs for Each Sound Module Make sure the snare drum stand you use is designed to firmly hold a 12-inch (PD- 125) or 10-inch (PD-105) drum. When mounting the PD-125/105 to a tom stand, verify the dimension of the rod. (6.3–12.5 mm) fig.

Like with an acoustic drum, accurate and equal head tension is needed for correct triggering response. 1 Loosen the tuning bolts until a slight gap is produced. 2 Tighten all tuning bolts by fingers, as tightly as you can. Tuning bolt Washer Hoop Slight gap Using the tuning key, turn the tuning bolts two full revolutions each, thus tightening them. Tighten each tuning bolt one by one, observing the numerical order shown in the figure. 1 3 4 2 5 6 HEAD MADE BY REMO U.S.A. For Accurate Positional Sensing Correct head tension is needed for this function to perform correctly. (TD-20, TD-10, and TD-8 respond in different ways. See the respective owner’s manual.) On the PD-125/105, adjusting the head tension affects only the head response, and not the pitch of the sound, as it would on an acoustic drum. Head tension may change over a period of time, so readjust when necessary. Playing Methods Head Shots Hit only the head of the pad. With certain snare sounds, playing position will change the nuance of the sound. Rim Shots 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. 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. Shallow Rim Shots Simultaneously strike the head near the rim and the rim itself. * See the TD-20 owner's manual for more info about which sounds allow this. * For more on settings and tones, see the respective module’s owner’s manual.
