Mounting the spurs
Mounting the beater head
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. First you must mount all the heads and then tune them.
Now turn the shell by 180° to mount the transparent batter head.
If you want to dampen the bass drum, now would be just the right time to
put some appropriate material in the shell to do this. A blanket or a pillow
would be perfect.
The transparent batter head is used on the beater side. When mounting it, we pro‐
ceed in just the same way as with the resonator head. Put the head on first and lay
the hoop on it, put the washers and claw hooks on the tension rods and screw them
on. Here too, make sure that you use two hexagon head screws opposite the tom
holder – the wing screws are used for remaining fastening. Do not tighten them too
much; only enough for the hoops not to be shifted. We'll do everything else when we
tune the drums. So that's the bass drum finished; now we'll do the toms.
