SNARE DRUM ASSEMBLY

ITEMS REQUIRED:

1x Snare Drum (14” x 5.5”)

1x Snare Drum Stand (two parts)

1.

   The snare drum is already assembled but needs 

to be installed on its stand. Take the tripod base 
of the snare drum stand, then unscrew the wing 
nut slightly to release the three arms. Tighten the 
wing nut once the arms are splayed.

2.

   Take the second part of the stand and place the 

pole into the top of the tripod base. Tighten the 
wing nut between both parts to secure in place. 
At the top of the snare drum stand are three 
arms with rubber stops. Evenly space these arms 
and simply set the snare drum on top, with the 
Gear4music logo pointing upwards.

3.

   Push the arms inwards then secure them around 

the drum. Tighten the wing nut on the stand 
(now below the snare drum stand) to secure 
everything into place.

NOTE

 – There is a lever on the side of the 

snare drum. Before beginning to play this 

drum, make sure to push the lever to its 

tensioned position, as this activates the snare 

wire underneath. If you press this lever and 

get no snare sound, you adjust this using the 

knob next to the lever when the tension lever 

is released.
