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).
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.
E 4 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.
