4. Insert the post of the Pedal Clamp Plate into the Pedal
Clamp Plate Bracket as shown and tighten the Wing
Bolt to secure. Loosen the Wing Nut on the Bass Drum
Spur and rotate it to the position shown in Fig.6.
Tighten the Wing Nut to secure. Loosen the Wing Bolt
and extend the Spurs making sure that both sides are
equal in length, and tighten the Wing Bolt to secure.
The Bass Drum Spurs have Spike Tips (for added slip
resistance) that can be exposed by turning the Lock
Nut and Rubber Tip clockwise (Fig.5).
1. Place the Shell on a clean, solid surface with the front
side (the side with the Bass Drum Spurs attached)
facing upwards. Put the Front Head with Pearl Logo on
the Shell then attach the Bass Drum Hoop with flat side
down on the Rim of the Head (Fig.1).
3.
Turn the shell over to the batter side and place the other
Head and Bass Drum Hoop on the Shell. Position the Bass
Drum Hoop so that the cutaway is aligned with the Clamp
Plate Bracket (Fig.3). Attach the Tension Rods/Hooks in
the same way as the front side (Fig.4).

2. Pass a Tension Rod through a Hook, and hook it on the
Bass Drum Hoop above a Lug. Finger tighten the
Tension Rod into the Lug and do the same with the rest
of the Tension Rods/Hooks on this side of the drum
(Fig.2). Using a Tuning Key, tighten the Tension Rod
until secure.
CAUTION
The Spike Tips are sharp. Be careful not to hurt yourself or
others when using them. Use the Spike Tips only on thick
carpeted surfaces to prevent damage to the flooring underneath.
Note
To identify the top of the drum, check that both the Tom
Holder and “L” Rod Cymbal Holder Bracket are present.
Check to ensure that the front Bass Drum Hoop does
NOT include the cutaway for the pedal.
