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 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. Align the black resonator
head such that the "Millenium" 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 six
wing screws and two square-head ones. The two square-head screws are on the
bottom, i.e. opposite the tom holder so that there is enough free space on the
ground later on.
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.
The next thing we need are the ten‐
sion rods.
