However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones. 559a • Be sure to adjust the head tension before using the RP-2. Striking the pad while the head is loosened may damage the sensor and head. • When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials. 3 Features • Uses the same type of mesh head as used with Roland’s V-Drums Series. Superior feel and quiet striking make it an excellent choice for practice. • The head can be adjusted to the desired tension. • When used in combination with the RM-2 (optional), you can practice while listening to the metronome sound, and enjoy use of the realistic, onboard sounds in performing anything from the slightest nuances to the most dynamic solos. • A special practice stand (the optional PDS-2) is also available, which allows you to play the pad either sitting or standing, since the height and angle is readily adjustable.

Furthermore, if you use the pad without it being properly adjusted, you could likely experience problems such as the following. • Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume). • The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity). fig. 01-03 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. 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. Do not tighten any one tuning bolt too firmly all at once. Doing so prevents uniform stretching throughout the head, which is one cause of malfunction. Replacing the Head The head is an expendable item, whose performance deteriorates with extended use. If the head has torn out or remains slack even after proper adjustment, then replace the head. Head tension may change with extended use of the pad. Make adjustments as needed. Replacement heads (optional) MH-8 Mesh Head Replacing the Head When replacing, use the included tuning key. Go around and gradually loosen each one in order (by turning it counterclockwise). Pass the tuning bolts through the washers, then attach them to the hoop and frame. Tighten all eight tuning bolts until they lightly contact the hoop. Refer to “Adjusting the Head Tension. ” 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. Be careful not to lose the tuning bolts and washers that you removed.
