Assembling the Toms
Figures 1 & 4
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.

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.
