Drum Assembly Instructions
Use the instructions to help you
assemble your new drum set. Remember to have a large open area
where you can spread out the parts before you begin.
There are a lot of parts for a
full size drum set but don’t worry, once you get started the
process is very intuitive and fun!
Assembling the Toms
 1) Place the top drum head to
the drum shell with
the logo on the drum shell is facing upright.
The head will fit snugly
around the outside of the shell.
2) Fit the rim on top of the drum head - placing it so it is evenly seated around
all sides of the drum head. Then line-up the holes in the rim with the
lugs on the drum shell.
3) Place the washers on the tension rods, and
then insert the rods into
the holes of the rim. The tension rods will screw into
the lugs. Hand tighten the tension rods, making sure the rim is even
around all sides of the
drum shell.
4) Now you may use a drum key to tune the drum
head. Keep the head evenly
seated on the drum shell. When tuning, press down on the
center of the drum head
with the palm of your hand. This will help to stretch the
head so it will
not go out of tune as easily. Repeat this process on the
top and bottom of each tom.
Assembling The Bass Drum
1) The bass drum is assembled in much the same way as the toms.
2) Place the white batter
drum head on the side
of the bass drum that will
face the drummer
and bass drum pedal - the
side that is furthest
away from the leg mounts.
3) Place the hoop on top of the drum head making sure it is evenly
seated around all sides.
4) The bass tension rods are longer than the torn tension rods. . Place the
washers on the tension
rods, and then the claw hooks. Position the tension rod in line with
the lug and rest the claw hook in the hoop. Hand tighten the tension
rod. Repeat this step for the remaining tension rods.
5) Tune the drum head in
the same way you
tuned the toms.
6) Turn the drum over.
Insert the drum
spurs (legs) into the leg mounts and then repeat the same process and place the
front bass drum
head (with the logo) on the bass drum and tune.
Mounting the Toms
1) Insert the long tube into the torn mount of the bass
drum and tighten the screw. Use this to adjust the height
of each tom.
2) Then tighten the screw
on the tom mount of the drum.
3) Using the joint of the tom arm, you may adjust the
angle the torn.
4) Tighten the locks and repeat process on the other tom.
Floor Tom
1) After placing the heads and rims on the floor tom
in the same way as you
have attached the other heads, insert the long floor tom rods that raise
it off the
floor.
Hi Hat Stand
1) Refer to diagrams to assemble the hi-hat stand, high hat clutch
and to place the
hi hat cymbals. The hi-hat cymbal are 14” in diameter.
Attaching Bass Drum Pedal to
the Bass Drum
1) Place the base under
the bass drum hoop
and make sure the clamp is over the hoop. Tighten the screw
until the clamp
fits securely on the hoop
Snare Assembly
Put the snare together is
a snap. Just follow the steps on the diagram.
Now you should be ready
to play!
Remember, nothing will
help you become a good player faster than by finding a good, qualified music
instructor.
Good
luck and good drumming! |
