Rock Band Drum Kit Setup
- Collect all of the drum kit parts: the two black bases, two rods, two telescope rods, drum pad and pedal.
- Start at the base. Take the two rods and slide them horizontally into the inner sides of the one base. Once you get both rods in, fit the other base on the ends. Now you should have the base and rods connected.
- Fit each telescope rod into the base so they are sticking straight up. Adjust the telescope rods to a desired height. This is done by unclasping the latch on the telescope rods. When the desired height is reached, close the latch to lock the rods.
- Place the drum pad on top of the telescope rods. Using a similar latch, lock the drum pads into place.
- Place the pedal over the first rod. There are two grooves on the pedal so you can adjust it to what feels comfortable.
- Plug the pedal into the drum pad. The input is located on the backside of the drum pad between the yellow and blue pads.
