The first step after unboxing is to install the multi-mount, so you can attach drumbeam to your setup.
The base of the mount already comes pre-installed. To mount drumbeam to a stand or clamp, attach the included rod and tighten it with the supplied wrench.
Depending on the orientation, the rod diameter is 11 mm or 13 mm fitting most common drum and percussion clamps.
The rod also has an 8 mm internal thread, allowing it to be screwed on many cymbal stands or our custom desk stand.
You can adjust the tilt resistance to your liking by tightening the hex screw with the included allen key.
