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 replacing head or hoop rubber, please contact your dealer or a Roland service center.
Replacing the Head
1. Remove all tuning bolts from the PDX-8 or
PDX-6.
NOTE
Do not apply excessive force to the sensor and cushion located
under the head. Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and
may damage it.
2. Remove the old head.
3. Place the new head on the shell.
4. Attach the tuning bolts to the head and shell.
5. Next, adjust the tension of the head. Refer to
“Adjusting the Head Tension” (p. 4).
* 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.
