Here too, there are memory clips that have a cutout. Here, the clip not only "remem‐
bers" how far you put the tube in but also at what angle.
The snare drum is now between the drummer's knees and we will add the bass drum
and hi-hat stands. The bass drum and hi-hat pedals are placed where the drummer's
feet rest naturally when they are in a normal upright seated position. In this connec‐
tion the knees must not touch the snare drum.
The bass drum with pedal comes on the right-hand side and the hi-hat stand on the
left-hand one. The two pedals form a V shape pointing towards the stool. Positioning
these 3 elements, snare, bass drum and hi-hat is very important. The rest of the set
results almost automatically from this.
The lower hoop of the snare drum should be just above the bass drum's
hoop.
The hanging toms are next. Put each tom shell in the bracket arm and screw it tight.
The tom shells are drilled through and the bracket arms are pushed into the shell.
Mount the smaller tom to the left of the drummer and the larger one to their right. As
with the snare drum the heights and angles of the toms depend on the height at
which the drummer is seated. In this connection, it should be possible to play the
drumstick as parallel as possible to the head.
With small people, the tom should be angled more than with larger ones. Mount
both toms at the same height and the same angle. They should not sit on the bass
drum or touch one another.
