Slide it as far down as necessary to achieve an appropriate height and then tighten the screw to secure it (Picture 4). Slide the long end of the arm (with the other end attached to the tom) into the hole. The smaller tom goes into the left slot (from the perspective of the seat) and the larger tom goes into the right slot. There are two adjustable slots on top of the bass drum (Picture 3). Now it is time to connect them to the bass drum. Insert the short end of the arm into the tom, slide it all the way in, and tighten the screw (Picture 2). The first step is to attach the arms to the tom drums (Picture 1). I will explain the attachable toms first, then the floor tom. The toms increase in size, with the floor tom being the largest. Once the bass drum is established, two toms are mounted onto the top of the bass, and one is a stand-alone on the floor. Up to this point, the bass and kick pedal are assembled (Picture 6). If it does, adjust the position of the legs or the pedal until it remains steady. The pedal nor the drum itself should move in any direction. Test the stability of both the pedal and the drum by kicking continuously on the pedal.

Rotate the knob on the pedal in a clockwise fashion until the pedal is secured onto the kick drum (Picture 5).

It should fit snugly but still be loose until it is is tightened down. Lightly lift the kick drum in order to slide the rim of the kick drum into the slot of the kick pedal. Loosen the knob on the kick pedal all the way so that you may attach it to the rim of the kick drum (Picture 4). Therefore, to install the kick pedal, slide the pedal up to the center of the kick drum. You can test the stability of your kick drum once you put the kick pedal into place. The legs should be pointing diagonally away from the direction that you will be kicking so that it will not slide away as the kick pedal beats on it. With the flat side of the drum facing where you will be sitting (a lot of drums have a hole in the side facing away from you), point the legs away from you and tighten them into place (Picture 3). So to prevent the kick from rolling, the legs will need to be set up in order to support it (Picture 2). Remove the large drum from any bag or case and lay it upright so that it would roll like a wheel (Picture 1). As the biggest and most central part of your set, the bass/kick drum is where assembly should begin.
