the pick starts to move. Continue tapping until the pick is removed.
5. Insert the new pick into the jaws of the extracting tool (pick puller) so that the
raised pad of the tool is pointing in the same direction as the pick point.
6. Position the new pick in the pick holder on the drum and with a lead hammer or
rubber-headed mallet, hit the raised pad of the tool to start the pick into the pick
holder. (Clean out any foreign material from the pick holder before installing the new
pick.)
7. Once the pick is started into the pick holder strike the tool pad one strong blow to
pop the pick into the holder.
The pick is properly seated when its shoulder is against the face of the pick holder.
