   Take 1x Tom Tom Drum (10”x 8”) and place on 

the fl oor with the Gear4music logo on the side 
of the drum facing upright.

on top of the drum and place the metal hoop

need to line up with the drum lugs located on 
the side of the drum.

   Using the drum key, screw 5x tension rods into 

the drum lugs to an even tension, ensuring any 
creases have been removed from the skin. Do 
not over tighten.

the corresponding resonant head (without the 
Gear4music logo).
