Assembly instructions

4 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 resonator head (with the logo print) on the shell and put a hoop over it.
Both the hoops are identical so it doesn't matter which one you put on rst. Align the
white resonator head such that the "DrumCraft" writing is parallel to the tom holder.
The head must be lying evenly on the edge of the shell on all sides.
Proceed as follows: Put the washer on the screw and then the claw hook. We need 8
square-head screws per side.
Hand-tighten all eight screws. When doing this, tighten the screws in the diagonally
opposite sequence. You only need to tighten the screws slightly, we will be tuning
the drums later on.
Keep the spurs folded in at the side at rst; 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 (without logo
print).
If you want to dampen the bass drum, now would be just the right time to
put a damper pillow in the shell to do this.
The next thing we need are the ten‐
sion rods.
