Setting the Snare Drum

Open  the  legs  of  the  Stand  Base  to  form  a  stable  tripod 

and  tighten  the  Wing  Bolt.  Loosen  the  Wing  Nut  on  the 

Tilter of the Basket Assembly and adjust the angle of the 

Basket as shown (Fig.13). Insert the Basket Assembly into 

the Die-Cast Joint of the Stand Base and tighten the Wing 

Nut/Wing  Bolt*.  Open  the  Basket  and  adjust  the  Butterfly 

Nut  as  needed  to  accommodate  the  Snare  Drum.  Place 

the Snare Drum into the Basket with the strainer positioned 

where it can be conveniently operated with your left hand, 

and  tighten  the  Butterfly  Nut  to  hold  the  Snare  Drum 

securely (do not overtighten).

Basic Tuning

Gradually  tighten  the  Tension  Bolts  using  a  crisscross 

pattern as shown. Tap the Head at each Tension Rod in a 

zone  between  20mm  and  30mm  from  the  rim  as  shown 

below  and  listen  to  the  pitches.  Adjust  the  tuning  as 

needed to achieve uniform pitch all around the Head. 

Note

There  are  three  ways  to  tune  the 

top  and  bottom  heads:  tune  both 

heads  to  the  same  pitch,  tune  the 

bottom  head  tighter  than  the  top, 

or  tune  the  bottom  head  looser 

than  the  top.  Experiment  to  find 

the tuning method that works best 

for you.

You  can  control  excessive  "ring" 

with after-market drum heads or muffling devices. A simple 

and  effective  way  to  muffle  your  Bass  Drum  is  to  put  a 

blanket inside. Additionally, many drummers like to port the 

front Bass Drum Head for a more controlled sound.

Make sure that all Wing Bolts, Wing Nuts, Bolts and 
Screws  on  the  Stands  and    the  Drums  are  tight 
before playing on your drum set.

CAUTION

The S-930 Snare Stand is equipped with a Wing Nut on the 

Die-Cast Joint, and the S-830 Snare Stand is equipped with 

a Wing Bolt.
