The band has a width of 7.5 mm.
Use this for adjusting the head tension.

• Kick trigger unit with embedded-mesh head for superior
playing feel, and quiet response.
• You can also play using a twin (double kick) pedal.
• Compact, eight-inch pad allows for greater versatility
when setting up.
• The four-leg stand assures outstanding stability.
When adjusting, use the included tuning key.
• On the KD-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.
• The head stretches when used for extended periods, so
even when this is adjusted to 7.5 mm in the following
procedure, you may not achieve the same degree of
tension as when the head was initially adjusted. Strike
the head to check the feel and response as you adjust the
tension.
1.
Use the included tuning key to tighten the
tuning bolts.
Tighten the bolts until there is a space of approximately
7.5 mm between the frame and the hoop.

A black, 7.5 mm strip is printed at the edge of this page.
Use this as a reference when making the adjustment.
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.
Fine-tune the adjustment while continuing to
check the pad feel and response.
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).
