Page 10: Setting Up The Bass Drum
Setting up the bass drum Setting up the bass drum Let's start with the bass drum. Position the bass drum shell such that the screws of the tom holder point down‐ wards. Now lay the black resonator head on the shell and put a hoop over it. Both the hoops are identical so it doesn't matter which one you put on first. - Page 11 Setting up the bass drum Mounting the spurs Now, you can screw the bass drum's spurs into the holder provided at the side. Keep the spurs folded in at the side at first; when we have assembled all the shells, we can start setting up the drum set.

Page 12: Mounting The Toms
Mounting the toms Mounting the toms Hanging toms The principle of assembling the toms is basically the same as with the bass drum. The shells are smaller which means that they don't have as many tension rods. The hoops are made of steel. This means that they don't need any claw hooks; rather, you screw them on directly. - Page 13 Mounting the toms Floor tom You mount the floor tom heads in exactly the same way as with the hanging toms. This means that we'll get right on with mounting the floor tom's legs. You can now attach the legs. When doing this, turn the feet outwards to ensure as much stability as possible.

Page 14: Assembling The Bass Drum Pedal
Assembling the bass drum pedal Assembling the bass drum pedal Let's concentrate on the hardware first. You have to assemble the bass drum pedal first. Budget bass drum pedals often don't have a continuous floor plate. To guar‐ antee that the elements lie in a stable way, they are fitted with a connecting rod. In fact, there are two round iron rods that are spring-urged to press outwards. -
Page 15: Assembling The Hi-Hat
Assembling the hi-hat Assembling the hi-hat Pull the stand's three legs far enough apart until there is optimum stability between the base point of the stand and the legs. A wing nut ensures that the legs do not move out of position. The pedal is still dangling loosely on the chain; this means that the hi-hat's pedal is stabilised with a rod just like the bass drum pedal. -
Page 16: Assembling The Cymbal Stands
Assembling the cymbal stands Assembling the cymbal stands Fold out or extend the legs of the straight and boom cymbal stands until they are as stable as possible. After this, you fix the legs using the wing nut. The two cymbal stands are of slightly different sizes. -
Page 17: Assembling The Snare Drum Stand
Assembling the snare drum stand Assembling the snare drum stand In the case of the snare drum stand too, you fold out the three legs and fix them with wing nut. Now put the top part with the arms into the lower section and screw it tight. -
Page 18: Tuning The Shells
Tuning the shells Tuning the shells All the drum shells are mounted. All the hardware is assembled. Basics Always tighten the tension rods in the diagonally opposite sequence to ensure even tension. You should tighten all the screws evenly. At the start, don't turn the screw by more than one rotation –... - Page 19 Tuning the shells Tune the resonator side of the bass drum in exactly the same way. Hanging toms and floor tom You proceed in the same way with the hanging toms and the floor tom. Seat the head slowly and evenly. At first, press the head down with your hands to seat it well. Tap your finger along the rim to check: you should hear a ringing tone.

Page 20: Setting Up The Drum Set
Setting up the drum set Setting up the drum set For optimum playing, we don't just need tuned drums; rather, it is also necessary to position all the drums in an optimum way. We now make all the settings that we neglected before. - Page 21 Setting up the drum set Completing the bass drum Now that we've tuned our bass drum, it's time to mount the bass drum pedal and the tom racks on the bass drum shell. Let's start with the bass drum legs. Fold the bass drum spurs out such that they point forwards at an angle of about 45°.
- Page 22 Setting up the drum set Bass drum and hi-hat The snare drum is now between the drummer's knees and we will add the bass drum and hi-hat stands. The bass drum and hi-hat pedals are placed where the drummer's feet rest naturally when they are in a normal upright seated position. In this connec‐ tion the knees must not touch the snare drum.

Page 23: Attaching The Cymbals
Attaching the cymbals Attaching the cymbals Our drum set is starting to take shape. We've already found the position of the hi-hat stand. What's missing now is attaching the hi-hat cymbals and adjusting the height. Attaching the hi-hat cymbals First place a metal washer and the felt disk on the hi-hat stand. Then the bottom cymbal (labelled "bottom"). - Page 24 Attaching the cymbals You set up the boom cymbal stand on the left in front of the snare drum. You screw the crash cymbal between the felt disks in the same way as with the other cymbals. Now you can easily set the cymbal on the boom arm such that it is easy to play and doesn't hit anything else.
