double check the Drum Key Fastener
and make sure they are all snug (do
not over tighten).
4. Begin with T-fitting/tube end number 1 and insert
into the corresponding left vertical leg. The surfaces
of the fitting should almost touch. Tighten the Drum
Key Fastener until snug (do not over tighten).
7. Loosen the Drum Key Fastener on fitting
7 as above. Insert Snare Drum into fitting
7 and tighten. Loosen T-fitting with the
4 Drum Key Fasteners and rotate into
desired position. Retighten Drum Key
Fasteners making sure the gaps between
the fittings are close to even.
8. If further adjustments of height
and angle are required, loosen
the appropriate T-fittings with the
4 Drum Key Fasteners and rotate,
raise, or lower into desired positions.
Retighten Drum Key Fasteners

KICK PAD TOWER INSTRUCTIONS
1. Loosen knobs on both sides of stand, but do not remove knobs.
Only loosen enough to rotate the legs outward. There are stops
that prevent the leg from over-rotating. Retighten knobs securely.
Both legs should be touching the floor evenly.

spikes that prevent the bass drum legs from sliding
forward under use.
2. For uneven floors, rotate each foot for finer height adjustments.
