* If the sound cuts off when you strike the hi-hat forcefully, rotate the VH Offset adjustment screw towards “OPEN.”

* Although the gap can be adjusted to a clearance that makes playing the hi-hat easier, setting too narrow or wide a gap can cause improper function of the unit and prevent the hi-hat from sounding as you intend. Setting the gap to 3 mm provides the most natural feel when playing the VH-11.

* Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect the Pad’s function.

* If the hi-hat clutch has been detached from the hi-hat, refer to “If the Clutch Was Apart from the Hi-Hat” in the owner’s manual.

Head replacement procedure

* Be sure to adjust the head tension of the PD-85 / PD-105 before use.

* Striking the head when the head tension is loose may damage the sensor and head.

* Do not apply excessive force to the sensor located below the center of the head of the PD-85/PD-105. Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it.

* Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor of the PD-85/PD-105, changes in room temperature may affect the sensitivity of the sensor.

* The rubber portion of the hoop is a consumable item that will undergo wear with use over time, depending on the number and strength of rim shots. Playing rim shots on the worn rubber portion may cause malfunc-tions. If this occurs, the hoop rubber should be replaced. Please contact Roland customer service regarding replacement of the hoop rubber.
