Installing Drums and Cymbals
There are as many ways to configure your drum set as there are drum-
mers. Our HARTWARE® or ULTILITE® rack and mounting system will
allow you to position each drum and cymbal to suit your taste.
1. Start with the SNARE drum. Position your drum throne to the height at
which you are most comfortable, then install the snare pad on to the snare
mount.
2. Locate the bass drum pad and install.
3. Install bass drum pedal and clamp pedal to Bass drum. Adjust position.
4. Locate the hh pedal and adjust position on floor.
5. Install Hi-Hat pad and adjust position.
6. Install Ride and adjust position.
7. Install Toms and adjust position.
8. Install Crash and adjust position.
Adjust the drum head tension. All drums are pre-tensioned from the
factory, but you may adjust them to your taste and playing style. Snare
drums usually have the tightest tension, high tom next , then down to loos-
est on floor tom(s) and Bass Drum. It is important to adjust head tensions
BEFORE setting up module as different tensions will affect triggering char-
acteristics slightly. Adjust using any standard drum key (supplied).
IMPORTANT! Hart Dynamics KONTROL SCREEN® drum heads
are extremely durable and will typically last much longer than their
acoustic conterparts. ALL PRODIGY DRUM HEADS ARE SPECIFIC
8" PRODIGY HEADS. YOU MAY ONLY USE 8" (KSM08-P) PRODIGY
DRUM HEADS ON PRODIGY DRUMS. ALL BASS DRUM HEADS MUST
BE TREATED AS YOU WOULD AN ACOUSTIC BASS DRUM HEAD.
Felt beaters are recommended and you should not have to replace the
bass drum head for a very long time, if ever. If you choose to use a plastic
or wooden beater, you should take the same precautions that you would
normally take on an acoustic bass drum. We recommend using a protec-
tive patch just as you would on an acoustic kick. Hart Dynamics does not
guarantee drum heads.
