Bass Drum Assembly:
Lay bass drum shell flat on the floor to install heads. Place logo drumhead centered onto the side of the drum shell closest
to the two support legs. Place a hoop over the head and insert the tension rod bolts through the washers then through the
claw and into the 6 threaded receptacles (lugs) on the shell. Head should be tensioned with the tuning key to a resonant
pitch, tighten bolts gradually in a criss-cross pattern (do not over-tighten). Repeat process for the other head. Insert legs
into the bass drum receptacles and adjust stable on the floor. Clamp the bass drum pedal to the hoop on the non-logo side.
Depress pedal to sound drum.
Drum Seat Assembly:
Install seat cushion onto 3-leg base. Adjust seat height so child can comfortably depress the bass drum pedal.
Floor Tom Assembly:
Lay floor tom shell flat on the floor to install heads. Place one 13” head over shell, set one 13 “ rim on top so that it is evenly
seated on the drum head. Line up the holes on the rim to the lugs on the shell and install long tension rods w/washers through
rim holes and into lugs. Head should be tensioned with the tuning key to a resonant pitch, tighten bolts gradually in a criss-cross
pattern (do not over-tighten). Repeat installation process for the opposite side head & rim. Insert 3 long support legs into each
of the 3 receptacles, adjust height & tighten wing nut to secure.
Snare & Stand Assembly:
Expand tri-pod legs to balance stand on floor. Set the snare drum securely between the 3 adjustable arms.
Position the snare drum on stand, as pictured, behind bass drum and to the left of the bass drum pedal.

Hi-Hat Assembly:
Expand tri-pod legs to balance stand on floor, insert floor pedal support brace into stand base and tighten down wing nut. Install
19.5” black shaft down into hole on top of stand and rotate clockwise to tighten into mechanism. Place one 9.5” cymbal (bell
down) on the clutch base of the stand. Install black hi-hat clutch to top 9.5” cymbal (bell up) by placing cymbal in-between two
felt washers with wing nut side of clutch facing up. Slide down onto black shaft and rest together with bottom cymbal. Depress
pedal about 1” to lower shaft & tighten wing nut on top cymbal. The hi-hat is a devise that will clang the two cymbals together
when the pedal is repeatedly depressed. Position the hi-hat assembly, as pictured, behind bass drum and to the left of the bass
drum pedal.
Cymbal & Stand Assembly:
Expand tri-pod legs to balance stand on floor, remove top wing nut and felt washer. Install 12” cymbal onto stand and replace
washer & nut. Adjust stand height and cymbal tilt angle as desired. Position cymbal stand assembly, as pictured, to the right of
the bass drum.
Final Assembly: (install 2 tom drums to the bass drum with the pedal facing you).
Insert long side of the tom arms at a 90-degree angle into the mounting receptacles and install & aim 8” tom to the left and 10”
tom to the right position. Arrange other components to playing position.
