1. ການຫຸ້ມຫໍ່: Carefully remove the cymbal and ZKEY multi-tool from their packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Mounting the Cymbal:
   • Place the cymbal on a cymbal stand. Ensure the stand is stable and properly adjusted for height and angle.
   • Use a cymbal sleeve (plastic or felt) on the stand's post to protect the cymbal's center hole.
   • Place a felt washer on top of the cymbal, followed by a wing nut. Do not overtighten the wing nut; the cymbal should be able to swing freely to allow for optimal vibration and sound.
3. ZKEY Multi-tool: The ZKEY multi-tool includes a drum key bit, a 4mm hex wrench, a 3mm hex wrench, and a Phillips head screwdriver. The drum key bit is removable for using the 4mm hex wrench. This tool is designed for adjusting drum hardware.
