General Installation Tips

TB8 mounts up or down

The tb8 was designed to be installed in either the  up or the down position.  Performance will not be affected.

  Only one mounting screw is necessary because the natural curvature of the drum acts as a lock washer to prevent unwanted rotation. The cone should rest approx 1/32- 1/16” above the bearing drum edge (slight pressure up against the bottom of the mesh head).  Use 2 wrenches to tighten pedestal hardware.

Universal mounting

The pedestal and cone can be positioned anywhere within the tb8 bracket slot. Most drummers prefer center mounting for positional drumming.

TB8 Installation Guide

TB8 Installation by Convertible Percussions.

1)  Remove acoustic drum head (some have installed mesh on one side and acoustic head on other for flip-n-play advantage).​

2.   Locate the tb8 close to the vent hole.  Remove the drum lug screw, set Tb8 in place, square up and tighten  lug screw.  Only one screw is needed as the natural drum shell  curvature acts as a lock washer.  Snug down tight. 

TB8 convertible percussion trigger install.

Slide trigger assembly to desired location along  the bracket.  Many  prefer center mounting.  Carefully set  trigger height to  1/32- 1/16” above the bearing edge.  In other words,  just slightly higher than the drum head for gentle  contact  with mesh head.   Too much pressure desensitizes response.  Too little pressure causes  double triggering.    Tighten both nuts using wrenches.    

Convertible Percussion special jack installation.

Remove vent grommet.  Vent grommets are either pressed in or threaded.  Insert proprietary rear entry 1/4" jack.  Once  jack is installed, tighten each nut firmly.   Now install your preferred mesh head.

Bass Drum Only

Bass  drum TB8 trigger should be placed 5" away (as shown in picture) from the  beater impact position. This is due to heavy beater impact demand. Only  one trigger is needed for double bass.
