Gear4music BDK STARTER KIT, Setup Manual

1.

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

the floor with the Gear4music logo on the side 
of the drum facing upright.

2.

    Using the drum key, undo the 2 tension rods 

from the drum lugs. This will release the metal 
drum hoop. Put the tension rods and drum hoop 
to one side temporarily.

3.

   Place 1x 10” Batter Head (with Gear4music logo) 

on top of the drum and place the metal hoop 
over the head, noting that the tension rod holes 
need to line up with the drum lugs located on 
the side of the drum.

4.

   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.

5.

    Turn the drum over and repeat steps 2 – 4 using 

the corresponding resonant head (without the 
Gear4music logo).
