Hi everybody, I'm new to the forum and just received my TD-3KW kit today. Having ordered it last week, I have spent countless hours every night scouring this site and gathing invaluable information and insight to the world of eDrumming. One answer I have not been able to find is tuning the PDX-8. The manual say's it first thing but gives no guidelines. I know it's a matter of preference on how tight you like it, but what's a good starting point and what's too tight (damage to the head wise)? Thanks in advance!!

Welcome!
Well it does say "rather firm". Tighter is better, and it's virtually impossible to damage a Roland head by tightening. A really tight mesh head usually produces less unnatural trampoline-style bounce and will feel more like an acoustic head.

Thanks BarT. So where's a good place to start, 1/2 a turn all the way around, 1 turn? Then work in increments of?Comment

Tighten half a turn at a time, in the order shown on Page 4 of the PDX-8 manual or Page 5 of the TD-3KW manual, until you can hardly depress the head with a finger in the center.
