Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Pat Louis. Here in Miami I'm going to show you today how to set up a drum kit. You got to have a place to sit when you're playing drums. Unless you want to make something unique out of your act. But in terms of a stool you want one that has a couple of different things that you can adjust. One of course is the stand to make sure that it's not going to slip on you. The other part is this part here which allows you to adjust this as we'll show you, the top goes on there is also a screw part on that. When you put that on you can tighten it down that way you have a lock on the firmness of the screw. Then when you adjust it you only have to do is spin it to the height that you want I like to usually get down a little bit lower. Then that is locked into place as well as to this particular on here. Once that is locked into place you have a place to sit then you can take a look at where everything is in relations to how you are going to play at that point, you're half way there."
