It may result in deformation, discoloration, damage or deterioration. [. . . ] Use the previously explained Output LEVEL adjustment to set the level to a proper level. If the double triggers continue even after you have tried the solutions listed above, use the DTXTREME/DTX/ DTXPRESS "Self Rejection" function to control the problem. Refer to the Owner's Manual supplied with the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS for more information. PA D I Setting Up (RHP80/100/120) Insert the Tom Holder (6-sided), on a rack stand or tom stand, into the Rod Clamp attached to the Pad, and tighten the Clamp Bolt firmly. Clamp Bolt system, adding the VK80 Rack Reinforcement Kit (optional) will increase the strength of the rack to that of the RS95. NOTE : Drum head tension can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the tuning bolts on the hoop with a tuning key. However, there will be no change in the tone produced by the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS, etc. : Make sure the pads are properly setup on the rack or stand. are not tightened sufficiently, the pad may fall off resulting in injury. Also, if the rack or stand is not setup on a flat surface, the rack or stand may overturn resulting in injury. NOTE : Please make sure that head tension is even all the way around the head. Uneven tension may produce wrinkles, which may shorten the life of the drum head. NOTE : Make sure the drum head is tightened within a proper range. Over tightening may result in damage to the drum head, shell, etc. An overly loosened head may result in a shorter life of the drum head, cushion, or noise. Also, when the head is too loose a metallic noise may occur when playing rim shots, likewise, the output from the rim sensor may be reduced and the sound produced by the DTXTREME/DTX/ DTXPRESS may be reduced or not sound at all when playing rim shots. The head may also become loose over time, so occasionally retighten the head. I Output Level (LEVEL) Adjustment Controls the trigger output level produced by the Real Head Pads. Output produced by either the pad section (the drum head section) or rim section (rim shot) can be controlled individually. Turn the LEVEL adjustment knob to the right (+) to increase the level. Turn to the left (-) to decrease the level. Adjust the level according to the amount of strength you use when playing the pad and rim, the required dynamic range, or specific needs regarding the devices that you use. NOTE : When the Real Head Pad is used with the DTXTREME/DTX/ DTXPRESS, the value on the Input Level display, found in the Trigger Edit Mode's [PAD GAIN] page, should be set to a value somewhere between 90% and 95% when the pad is struck at ff (the rim should be set the same for rim shots). For more information, please refer to the "Owner's Manual" supplied with your DTXTREME/ DTX/DTXPRESS. If the Output LEVEL is set too high, the dynamic range may be reduced, or problems such as double triggers (when a single stroke produces multiply triggered sounds), and cross talk (hitting the pad causes the sound assigned to the rim to be produced or vice versa) may occur. : Do not put excessive pressure on the level adjustment knob, it may result in damage. LEVEL Adjustment Knob LE VE PA D RIM L Tom Holder Insert Rod Clamp (RHP120SD) The snare drum pad can setup on a snare drum stand (YAMAHA: SS642, etc. ) in the same manner as a normal snare drum. NOTE : When attaching the Real Head Pads to a rack system, we recommend that either the YAMAHA Rack System RS100 or RS95 be used. Using a ball clamp type tom holder like the RS100 allows the attachment of large pads like the RHP120. A cylinder type tom holder like the RS95 allows the attachment of lighter pads up to the RHP80.
