Replacing the Head or Hoop

Rubber

The performance of the head and/or hoop rubber

will diminish with use over time. If the head is torn or

becomes too fatigued, or impossible to tension correctly,

then it should be replaced. If the hoop rubber is worn

out, it too can be replaced.
For replacement heads or to have the hoop rubber

replaced, please contact your dealer or a Roland service

center.
