Only one mounting screw is necessary because the natural curvature of the drum shell acts as a lock washer to prevent unwanted movement.  The tb8 has 4 universal side mounting holes .

Alignment

Detailed jack Installation

Universal mounting

  • Mount the tb8 assembly near the vent hole.  
  • Remove one or two lug screws and attach the tb8.
  • Use a square for best alignment then tighten down.

  • The cone trigger can be mounted anywhere within the tb8 bracket slot parameters.  It is your preference. 
  • A stiff straight edge can be used to help locate the exact bearing edge. 
  •  The cone should rest approx 1/32" above the bearing edge (slight pressure up against the bottom of the mesh head).  Use 2 wrenches to tighten the pedestal hardware. 

Important NOTE:

Too much pressure desensitizes response.  Too little pressure causes double triggering.

Beater /sensor View

Bass drum tb8 trigger should be placed 5" away from beater impact position.  This is due to heavy beater impact demand.  Only one trigger is needed for double bass.
