Setting the Snare Drum
Open the legs of the Stand Base to form a stable tripod
and tighten the Wing Bolt. Loosen the Wing Nut on the
Tilter of the Basket Assembly and adjust the angle of the
Basket as shown (Fig.13). Insert the Basket Assembly into
the Die-Cast Joint of the Stand Base and tighten the Wing
Nut/Wing Bolt*. Open the Basket and adjust the Butterfly
Nut as needed to accommodate the Snare Drum. Place
the Snare Drum into the Basket with the strainer positioned
where it can be conveniently operated with your left hand,
and tighten the Butterfly Nut to hold the Snare Drum
securely (do not overtighten).
The S-930 Snare Stand is equipped with a Wing Nut on the
Die-Cast Joint, and the S-830 Snare Stand is equipped with
a Wing Bolt.

Basic Tuning
Gradually tighten the Tension Bolts using a crisscross
pattern as shown. Tap the Head at each Tension Rod in a
zone between 20mm and 30mm from the rim as shown
below and listen to the pitches. Adjust the tuning as
needed to achieve uniform pitch all around the Head.

Note
There are three ways to tune the
top and bottom heads: tune both
heads to the same pitch, tune the
bottom head tighter than the top,
or tune the bottom head looser
than the top. Experiment to find
the tuning method that works best
for you.
You can control excessive "ring"
with after-market drum heads or muffling devices. A simple
and effective way to muffle your Bass Drum is to put a
blanket inside. Additionally, many drummers like to port the
front Bass Drum Head for a more controlled sound.
CAUTION
Make sure that all Wing Bolts, Wing Nuts, Bolts and
Screws on the Stands and
before playing on your drum set.
For Pedal and Hi-Hat Stand assembly, refer to the
individual manuals (included).
