Step 1: Set the Bass Drum Shell on the side with the spurs (legs) towards
the top. Place the black “PDP” logo head over the shell. Center the logo
underneath the BDM (Bass Drum Mount Receiver) located on the top of
the bass drum.

Step 2: Place one of the bass drum hoops over the bass drum head.

Step 3: Slide 8 metal washers from the accessory box onto 8 longer
tension rods . Then slide the tension rod through 8 claw hooks .

Step 4: Position each claw hook over the bass drum hoop and thread
the tension rods into the lugs around the shell. Tighten by hand only.
(You will fully tighten and tune the drum later.)

Step 5: Turn the drum on its side (black head down) Place the clear batter
head over the shell .

Step 6: Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the batter head .

Step 7: By loosening the wing nut, angle the spurs (legs) so they face
slightly towards the front of the bass drum.

Step 8: Put the drum in its upright position.

Step 9: Loosen the spur legs with the drum key and lower the legs so
that the front of the bass drum is lifted about one inch off the ground.
Tighten the spurs.

Step 1: Insert the arms so that the wing screw on the arms face the
black logo head.

Step 2: As, you did with the bass drum place the 10" Tom Tom Drum
Head over the shell.

Step 3: Place one of the counter hoops over the Tom Drum Head.

Step 4: Slide 6 Metal Washers onto 6 Smaller Tension Rods.Then
slide the Smaller Tension Rod through each ear of the Tom Drum
counter hoop.

Step 5: Align the Smaller Tension Rods with the lugs and thread the
Tension Rods into the lugs around the shell. Tighten by hand only. (You

Step 8: Using the drum key, loosen the memory locks on the Tom Arms
and slide them away from the end of the arms. Later, once you’ve mounted
and positioned the 10" + 12" Toms, you can use the memory locks to

Step 9: Loosen the wing screw on the bracket of the 10" Tom Tom, and
slide the right tom arm on the left (from a right-handed drummer’s
perspective behind the kit - reverse if you play left - handed). Tighten the
wing screw on the tom bracket.

Step 10: Loosen the wing screw on the bracket of the 12" Tom Tom.
Position the tom on the Bass Drum Mounted Tom Arms (reverse if you play
left-handed). Tighten the wing screw on the tom bracket.

14" Floor Tom Assembly

Step 1: The 14” tom is not assembled. Place the batter head on
the drum as you did with the small toms. Place the counterhoop
over the head and thread the Smaller Tension Rods in just like
the smaller tom. Make sure all the tension rods and washers are
correctly inserted in the lug receivers, and finger-tighten all
tension rods. Repeat the head, counterhoop and tension rod
installation for the bottom (resonant) head. You will fully tighten
and tune this drum later.

Step 2: Place the drum on the floor upside-down, with the three
receivers that are on the side of the shell toward the top. Loosen
the wing screws on the three receivers.

Step 3: Insert the end of one floor tom leg into the receiver, with
the foot up in the air. Allow approximately 4-5 inches of the rod
to come through the receiver. Rotate the leg so the foot is facing
away from the drum (when turned over, the feet will be facing out,
not tucked under the shell). Tighten the wing screw. Repeat
for the other two floor tom legs, and turn the drum over so it is
standing on the legs.
