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 white 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.

Setting up the bass drum Mounting the beater head 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.
Assembling the floor tom Assembling the floor tom The principle of assembling the floor tom is basically the same as with the bass drum. The shell is 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.
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. The flat rod below the pedal must be pushed forward into the holder and then fas‐ tened with the screw.
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. As with the bass drum pedal, the hi-hat's pedal is stabilized by pushing the pedal for‐...
Assembling the cymbal stands Assembling the cymbal stands The legs of the straight cymbal stand are folded out or extended until it stands secure. After this, you fix the legs using the wing nut. Push the centre and spacer tubes onto the bottom case and fix them with the wing screws.
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.
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 beginning, don't turn the screw by more than one rotation –...

Tuning the shells 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.
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.

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. The bass drum spurs are inserted into the openings provided on the left and right sides of the bass drum.

Setting up the drum set Here too, there are memory clips that have a cutout. Here, the clip not only "remem‐ bers" how far you put the tube in but also at what angle. 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.

Setting up the drum set Now there's just the floor tom. Set up the floor tom next to your right thigh. When doing this, ensure that there is enough space between the snare drum and the floor tom. Your leg must have enough space to the left and the right. The height of the floor tom depends on the height of the snare drum.
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 23
Attaching the cymbals Attaching the ride and crash cymbals The ride cymbal is placed on the right between the floor tom and the right-hand hanging tom. As with the hi-hat, you screw the cymbal between two felt washers. Now position the cymbal such that you can comfortably reach it with your drumstick it doesn't hit the shell.
