Warning
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tighten and Secure All Moving Parts
Ensure all wing bolts, wing nuts, geared tilters,
bass drum spurs, and clamps are tight and secure
after assembly or adjust-
ment. Failure to do so will
cause the hardware to fall
over or drop/slip during use
and may result in personal
injury or property damage.
Precautions When Handling Equipment
Risk of fatal or severe personal injury
and/or property damage.
Caution
Risk of injury to person(s) handling the
equipment and/or to personal proper-
ty.
The performance or function of the
equipment may be adversely affected
and may result in permanent damage.
●
Avoid Damage To Floor Surfaces
The bass drum spurs and hi-hat stand have sharp
tips/anchors to keep them stationary during use.
The pointed ends may gouge or damage bare
floors, and the rubber tips may cause discoloration
to floor surfaces if left in place over time. To
prevent floor surface damage, always place the
drum-set on carpet or a specially designed drum
mat.
Stabilizing Stands
Open the tripod base to a wide stance to ensure
stability and prevent the stand from tipping over
during use. When
mounting a tom or
boom cymbal,
always position
them directly over a
leg of the tripod for
optimum stability.
Earthquake Precautions
A strong vibration such as an earthquake can cause
your drums and hardware to shift and tip over. Stay
well clear of falling objects to avoid injury.
Note
Objects with Rough or Pointed Shapes
Some parts, such as knurled posts, hi-hat rods, and
tension rods have roughened or pointed shapes that
can scratch surfaces or get caught, for example, on
clothes or carrying bags. Please handle these parts
with extra caution to avoid mishaps.
Bass Drum Head Sound Control Hole
Some bass drum heads are equipped with a hole
for sound control and microphone placement. The
edges of the hole are sharp; use caution to avoid
contact to prevent injury when handling, placing
microphones, or muffling the drum.
Anti-Slip Spikes
The spikes (used on bass drum spurs, hi-hat legs,
snare stand legs and some other products) are
sharp and can cause serious personal or property
injury. To prevent mishaps, use extreme care when
handling these products especially when the spike
tips are exposed.
Folding Stand Legs
When folding the legs on stands, be careful not to
pinch your fingers between any moving parts.
Handling Tubing
Do not put your fingers into the tubes when handling
tubular hardware. Doing so may result in injury.
Adjusting Throne Settings
Sitting on a drum seat while adjusting height
settings can cause the seat to drop suddenly and
pinch your fingers and/or cause other bodily
injuries. Sitting on the drum seat while making
adjustments may require twisting and reaching that
can also cause bodily injuries. To prevent injury,
perform these adjustments before sitting, test, and
repeat as necessary until the best comfort/support
is achieved.
Be Careful Using Sticks and Wire Brushes
Sticks and wire brushes are intended for playing
the drums and should
never be used to hit or to
be thrown at people.
Doing so can be extreme-
ly dangerous.
Broken Sticks
Fragments and splinters
from broken drumsticks
can fly into the air and
cause injury to the player
and/or to those nearby.
The Drum Throne is Not a Step Stool
Standing on a drum throne and
using it as a step stool may cause it
to break and fall over. Never use
the drum throne for anything other
than its designated purpose, that is,
to sit on while playing.
Be Careful Around Drum Sets and Stands
Hardware, drums, cymbals, and percussion devic-
es protruding from drum sets may cause people
walking by or children playing nearby to trip and
stumble into the drum set resulting in severe bodily
injury and/or damage to equipment. Exercise
extreme caution when moving about your set and
closely supervise children who may be playing in
the vicinity of your set.
Adjustments
Use two hands when adjusting
the height and angle of drums,
cymbals, practice pads, etc. Use
one hand to support the object
being adjusted to keep it from
falling while making adjustments
with your other hand.
Precautions with Oil and Grease
Hardware such as tension rods, wing nuts, and
wing bolts are lubricated with grease or oil from the
factory. Use caution when handling to avoid skin or
clothing contact. If exposed, wash any surface with
soap and water immediately.
Precautions with Rust or Sharp Edges
Metal parts may become rusty and scratched
through use. Rusty surfaces can be sharp, and
care must be taken to prevent injury to your hands
and feet. Metal surfaces, such as footboards, may
develop sharp edges from contact with other
stands, especially during transport. Examine metal
parts periodically and repair them immediately to
prevent injury to your hands and feet.
Metal Care
To prevent rust, all metal parts on drums and
hardware should be wiped with a clean dry cloth
immediately after exposure to moisture. Periodically
polish metal parts to protect against rusting and to
maintain the beauty of fittings and hardware. Should
rust occur, remove the rust with commercial removal
products and use caution to prevent cuts to your
hands from sharp edges that may be present.
Precautions Regarding High Temperatures
and Humidity
Leaving your drums in places with high heat, such as
in a car or in direct sunlight, can cause the covering
to come loose. To maintain the pristine condition of
your drums and hardware, store them in places with
controlled and comfortable temperature and humidity.
Precautions Regarding High Temperatures
and Ultraviolet Light (UV from the Sun)
To maintain the pristine condition of your drum finish
covering, avoid long periods of exposure to Ultraviolet
Light (direct Sun-Light) or very high temperatures.
