1
Locate each drum shell in your newly purchased drum kit. This usually includes a kick drum (the largest drum), a floor tom (the second largest drum), two rack tom drums (the two smaller versions of the floor tom) and the snare drum.

2
Lay the kick drum horizontally on the ground so the beater head is facing toward you. The beater head is the side of the drum where the bass drum pedal will mount. Loosen the legs on the front side of the bass drum. Loosen each leg's fastening mechanism. Rotate each leg downward until each leg is firmly planted on the ground. The legs will hold the kick drum in place.

Grasp the kick drum pedal. Hand-screw the beater mallet into the screw hole on the top side of the pedal. Attach the clamp pedal to the drum head hoop on the beater-side of the kick drum. Turn the clamp's hand screw in the clockwise direction until the pedal is firmly attached to the kick drum.

Place the floor tom face down on the ground. Locate the three metal tom stands. Insert each stand into the three mounting holes attached to each side of the tom's outer shell. Make sure the rubber platform on each stand is facing upward. Tighten the clamp on each mounting hole until each stand is firmly secured in place. Place the tom face up so the stands are facing flat on the ground. Position the floor tom on the right side of the bass drum.

Insert the rack tom mounting hardware into the hole on the top side of the kick drum. Tighten the clamp on the kick drum to fasten the mounting hardware to the kick drum.
-
6
Notice the two mounting poles extending from the hardware. Slide the smaller tom onto the left mounting shaft, and the larger rack tom onto the right shaft. Tighten the knobs on each tom to fasten the toms in place.
-
7
Locate the snare stand hardware. Unscrew the hand screw on the base of the stand. Pull the legs apart until they are fully extended. Stand the snare drum stand up. Tighten the hand screw. Grasp the three arms on the snare-grip. Pull the arms apart and place the snare drum face up inside the snare-grip. Place the snare drum directly in front of the kick drum. Position it so it does not obstruct the kick drum pedal.
