1.
Completely turn down the volume of the RM-2 and any connected external devices.
2.
Turn off the power to all external devices.
3.
Turn off the RM-2.
Adjusting the Head Tension
When adjusting, use the included tuning key.
* Striking the pad with a loose head may damage the sensor. Furthermore, if you use the pad without it
being properly adjusted, you would likely to experience such problems as the following.
• Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume).
• The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity).

While continuing to check the feel and response, use the tuning key to adjust all eight tuning
bolts until the tension is properly adjusted. Always tighten the tuning bolts in the order
shown in the figure.
•The proper tension is achieved when the feel and response of the head as you
strike the pad is about the same as that of an acoustic drum.
•Head tension may change with extended use of the pad. Make adjustments as
needed.
•On the V-PRACTICE PAD (RP-2), 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.
Do not tighten any one tuning bolt too firmly all at once. Doing so keeps the head
from stretching evenly throughout, which can cause malfunction.
