Assembling the bass drum pedal
Let's concentrate on the hardware first. You have to assemble the bass drum pedal
first. Budget bass drum pedals often don't have a continuous floor plate. To guar‐
antee that the elements lie in a stable way, they are fitted with a connecting rod.
In fact, there are two round iron rods that are spring-urged to press outwards. You
can press them together with one hand and push them into the cutouts on the frame
of the bass drum pedal. If the bass drum pedal has a floor plate, you don't need to
carry out this step.
Now you screw the beater into the holder.
NOTICE!
Do not stick the bottom end of the shaft in too far; otherwise, it could
damage the bass drum head.
You can make all the other settings later on. A separate user guide is enclosed for the
the bass drum pedal.
