Basic Tuning
Here is the basic tuning method using the snare drum as
an example. Gradually tighten the tension bolts diagonally
as shown to raise the overall
pitch of the head. Tap the head
at each tension rod near the rim
(tuning point) as shown below
and listen to the pitches.
Adjust the tuning as needed to
achieve uniform pitch all around
the head. Most drummers tune
the bottom head of the snare
drum slightly highter than the
top.
Basically, the tom toms and
bass drum are tuned the same
way as the snare drum.
However, there are three ways
to tune the top and bottom
heads: tune both heads to the
same pitch, tune the bottom
head tighter than the top, or
tune the bottom head looser
than the top. Experiment to find
the tuning method that works
best for you.
If you find that the drums have
too much “ring,” you can
control it with after-market drum
heads or muffling devices. A
simple and effective way to
muffle your bass drum is to put
a blanket or pillow inside.

Snare Stand Assembly
Open the legs of the stand to form a stable tripod and
insert the top section into the base. Open the basket and
adjust the tilter, so the basket assembly is flat. Adjust the
center knob as needed to accommodate the snare drum.
Place the snare drum into the basket and tighten the
center knob to secure the drum (Do not overtighten)
(Fig.18).
