Bass Drum Spurs (Fig. 4)


  • Rotate the spurs toward the front of the bass drum.
  • Extend the spur rods equally until the front of the bass drum is about an inch off the floor.
  • You can choose spikes or rubber tips to prevent the bass drum from creeping. To expose the spikes, loosen the locking nut and turn the rubber tip clockwise. Counter-tighten the locking nut and rubber tip to prevent loosening. Caution: For safety, keep the spikes covered by the rubber tips when transporting the bass drum. Also, to prevent damage to floors, use the spikes only on protected surfaces.
  • For transport, stow the spurs parallel to the shell.

Bass Drum Pedal Assembly


Slip the triangle (attached to the spring) onto the cam roller (Fig. 5a).

  • Insert the beater shaft into the beater link and tighten the key bolt. About 1/4" of the beater shaft should be visible at the bottom of the beater link (Fig. 5b).

Bass Drum Pedal Attachment


  • Adhere the self-stick rubber pad into the channel of the back bass drum hoop where the pedal attaches (Fig. 6a).
  • Lift the backside of the bass drum slightly and slide the pedal onto the hoop at this location. If necessary, loosen the T-bolt to widen the opening of the hoop clamp. Center the pedal so that it sits squarely on the floor. Tighten the T-bolt to hold the pedal securely to the hoop (Fig. 6b).
