First Act FD-515, FD-517, FD-520, FD-514 manual Ssembly

Thank you for purchasing a First Act Discoverytm 500 series Drum Set! This drum set is ready to go right out of the box and will have anxious young drummers playing in no time! You’ll need no tools to assemble the drums. Keep the drum-tuning key in a safe place, as you’ll need it to tune or change the heads periodically. Enjoy!

A SSEMBLY

Open the box and remove the seat top (*not included with model FD-514) Then take out the snare drum (A) tom drum (B) and cymbal (D) and put aside.

The pedal, stands and accessories are located in the side compartment. Open up the package and inspect the items with the contents page.

Take out the bass drum (C) and place upright on the floor.

Insert the two bass drum spurs (H) to the front half of the bass drum on the bottom. The spurs should extend out from the drum just enough to steady the drum on the floor.

Attach the bass drum pedal (F) by sliding the bottom plate under the flanged rim of the bass drum. Tighten the top clamp located under the footboard just enough to “grab” the top of the flanged rim.

Place the bass drum felt beater into the top of the bracket and adjust so the felt beater hits the middle of the drum.

Make sure the spring on the side of the pedal is tensioned to the top and bottom of the bracket of the bass drum pedal.

Stand behind the bass drum and insert the two L mounting arms (G) into the two closest mounts on the top of the drum.

Point one L mounting arm to the left and insert into the mount on the bass drum that is closest to you. Tighten. Then point the other L mounting arm to the right and insert on the middle bass drum mount. Tighten.

(*For model FD-520 only, insert bottom half of L mounting arm through the cowbell (K) and tighten wing nut on cowbell bracket before inserting into first mount on bass drum.)

Place the snare drum on the left L arm mount.

Place the tom drum on the right L arm mount.
