Refer to 
 
Hi-Hat Settings [F3 (HI-HAT)]

Adjusting the Mesh Head of the 
 
Pad (PD-125/105)
 
Heads MUST BE TUNED BEFORE PLAYING.
 
When adjusting, use a tuning key.
Like with an acoustic drum, accurate and equal head tension 
is needed for correct triggering response.
 
*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.
 
1.
 
Loosen the tuning bolts until a slight gap is 
produced.
 
2.
 
Tighten all tuning bolts by fingers, as tightly as 
you can.
 
fig.PD-Nut.e
 
3.
 
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.
