ASSEMBLY

1

2

Open boxes.
n

Remove the drum shells from the smaller boxes.

n

Do not open bag of extra parts — save for later.

n

Set aside heads, rims and tension rods for later assembly.

Find your marching tom configuration (pg. 5-8)
and refer to it for assembly.

A

n

FFLBs have been pre-installed on your drums (image A).

n

Lay out the shells as shown in the configuration diagram.

n

Nestle the Yamaha lug casing inside the FFLBs (image B).

n

and washers.

3

Attach the 6" or 8" space spock drum.
n

Your extra 6" or 8" or both will have a pre-installed
metal bridge (image C). These bridges take the
place of the regular Yamaha lug casing.

n

Attach the metal bridge to the corresponding shell
as shown in your configuration diagram.

n

Locate the bag of bolts, washers and nuts with
sprocket (image D).

n

Place your 6" or 8" or both on a flat surface within
your drum array configuration so you can connect
them to the correct corresponding shell.
• Insert the bolts through the holes in the shell.
• Slide the channel of the bridge down the bolt head.
• Fasten the nut on the inside of the shell (image D).
NOTE: The height of the bridge is important. Image D
shows the top half of the bolt head. This is the ideal
height for the bridge on both shells.

Attach the back rail to the outer drums.
n

Locate the bag of bolts, washers and nuts without
the sprocket.

n

Insert bolts into the opening channels on both
sides of back rail (images E and F).
• The bolt head should face out of the channel.

F

• Place the washer on the bolt and loosely tighten
the nut.
n

Repeat on the other side (try to insert both sides
of the rail simultaneously so that it’s even).

n

Once the rail is in place, tighten using the 7⁄16" wrench.

Assembly before back rail.
