The bass
drum is assembled similarly to the floor tom.
Lay the bass drum on its back with the spurs
facing upward.
Place the front head onto the front bearing edge as
shown above.
Next, place the bass drum hoop onto the ring surrounding
the head.
Attach the claws onto the hoop and thread the tension
rods into the swivel nuts in each lug. Finger tighten
the rods for now. Turn the drum over and do the other
side with the remaining bass drum head.
