Mounting the toms

The principle of assembling the toms is basically the same as with the bass drum. The

shells are smaller which means that they don't have as many tension rods. The hoops

are made of steel. This means that they don't need any claw hooks; rather, you screw

them on directly. The tension rods aren't as long as with the bass drum either, since

the hoops are not as wide.

To make the hoops easier to transport, they are fixed on one side of the shell with a

couple of screws. To mount the heads, you must first completely remove the hoops.

Now lay a head on the shell and put a hoop over it. Both the hoops and heads are

exactly the same so it doesn't matter which one you use where. If you look from the

top, you can see whether the head and the hoop are really contacting the middle of

the drum shell.

You now screw in six tension rods per side. With the tension rods, you must always

ensure that the washer is inserted.

You hand-tighten the tension rods in the diagonally opposite sequence. Now

assemble the second hanging tom in exactly the same way as the first one. Like the

bass drum, we will be tuning the tom later on.
