its important that you don't spread out the legs too far LOL

[TOxCrazyReaperx]

is it just a normal snare stand that you use for a tom stand? thinking about doing this :3

[wildcountry72]

Wow you know I never had anyone teach me how to set up a drumset.... But you know what I could explain it a hell of alot better than this... This seems a little pointless since noone uses a snare stand to set their tom on anymore. Use a little modern equipment.

Thanks! but...I acutally have the 2 mounted toms...I have....5 pieces...just no snare stand...kicker...or cymbals of any kind.../stands.. x_x I just had no idea how everything hoooked on but a friend came over. THANKS BUNCHES!!! :D

[omgitsbrant]

well... if ur right handed... the floor tom goes next to ur right leg, the bass drum goes in front of u(on the floor /the 1 u hit with ur feet)the snare goes in between ur legs... ur missing 2 mounted toms, hi hat cymbals, crash cymbals(i use 2) and a ride cymbal(a pretty much major cymbal... message back if u have any more questions

I'm still really confused. I got the shell of mine, and I need to know what I'm missing. I have the floor toms and the snare and bass drum, and I have this random piece >.>
