Jared, I am a teacher and on call drummer who has been teaching and playing for 49 years, in all styles. I've watched many videos and used quite a few with students. I can say with gusto that I echo so many of the comments here. Your videos and teaching are unpretentious, substantive, insightful, and thoughtful. You anticipate the common questions that developing drummers have, and answer them clearly, honestly, and humbly. I wish that I had been able to access your teaching when I started (but there wasn't even an internet then); it would have saved me a buttload of time. However, if we stop learning, we die, and I can say that I learn at least one thing every time I watch one of your videos. Your best quality, although you are obviously accomplished technically, is that you have a passion to help others make progress and therefore a passion for teaching. I share that passion, and so appreciate it in one who does it so well. Thanks for the effort it takes to do what you do and do it with excellence and love for the art of drumming and for those who learn from you. Keep it up, and may your tribe increase!

I can hardly wait for the elderly gent who plays them more than I do at church to play this kit with the new Evans heads. He was putting on folded paper towels and taping on to the old heads and sounding terrible. Many thanks again.

you are so right it's really all about taste. I use the basic Remo powerstroke 3 batter head with the slam patch combined with a pillow inside. depending on the space I'm playing I will either place the pillow against the batter head the resonate or in between to get the right sound. the most important thing is even tension on all your lugs. every bass drum is unique so tune to your own style

Thanks Jared. Very helpful as I have a Pearl kit from the early 60's and my kick now sounds just great. The EQ Pad really made the difference as before I only had a pillow and sheet and my sound guy at church would always have to take extra time to get the sound out of it he wanted.

@rhythmista7707 8 жыл бұрын

As both drummer for 32 years, and drum tech for 18 of those 32 yrs, i think it's all subjective.. For example , i would personally never put a pillow or any other type of internal dampening with the type of Evans batter head he's using here. Way too much dampening for my taste, but like i said before, it's all subjective. It all depends on the music you play, the beater type, putting a port hole or not, wanting a wide open sound with no muffling (like Keith Carlock) or wanting a studio, pre EQ-ed muffled kick sound, (like Jared's) is all subjective, but all work just the same..There is no "best way" to tune a bass drum. However, for an all around "standard" kick sound, a drum head like an Evans EQ4 or Remo P3 on the batter side, and the equivalent or thinner version equivalent on the resonant side with a port hole for miking purposes for both in studio and live, is the ideal standard, all purpose kick sound that works well in most genres of music and musical situations. This is what Jared is trying to show everyone here with this demonstration, and did a great job of doing so...

+Rhythmista Yes,I imagine Jared always plays in a miked up situation; but I still couldn't believe how much stuff he had in his bass drum!

@rhythmista7707 8 жыл бұрын

drum itfy Yes. It is a very pre-EQ'ed sound which seems to be the standard in the industry these days, and of the last 4 decades or so. I will do the same on occasion, or whenever it's required for the musical situation i'm in at that time..

@elmercorn 8 жыл бұрын

+Rhythmista So as a tech, you would understand the cross tuning method. I'v seen many videos these days where they tune and tension in a clockwise sequence. I was taught very early to avoid tuning clockwise because it can damage your shells (over time) and tune inaccurately. He's tuning in a clockwise pattern so I was curious on your thoughts.

@rhythmista7707 8 жыл бұрын

elmercorn Tuning a drum can get tricky at times, and is mostly subjective.. I use my own personal method having observed both drum techs and drummers, and ended up with my own distinct tuning method.. Even as a tech you're never too experienced to learn a more efficient method of tuning a drum. When i said that i go counter clockwise, i mean direction, consistently going that way but tensioning each lug at every opposite side, NOT every following lug , so i'm actually going top lug/bottom lug, second lug clockwise, opposite bottom lug, and so on.. Also, when i do this, i flip the drum over and repeat the same thing at the same time, following it's top lug counterpart (hope that makes sense to you ;)) This gives a totally even tension all throughout the drum, and then when both sides are evenly tuned, i crank the bottom head with a few half turns to have the bottom slightly tighter than the top head, which is the standard method. Once that's done, i place the drum flat on a hard, or soft muffled surface (this helps in cutting out any unwanted sound and you can clearly hear the overtones of the drum) then proceed to fine tune any lugs that are higher or lower in pitch to and even tuning all around the drum.. Great results.. Hope this helps ;)

@Gideonslc Жыл бұрын

Nice to see how someone else does it. Being set up in a tighter home (bedroom) space I'm in the habit, when replacing the beater head, of tuning my resonant head, the placing any sound dampening pillows in the drum then tuning my beater head into my resonant head. It's a space constraint motivated methodology.

@frankdf19 6 жыл бұрын

One simple trick I use for functionality is rotating the front head to relocate the hole. If a studio or stage situation requires locating a mic deep in the drum, short mic stands are a must if the hole is midway or lower. Sometimes the only thing available is a standard height boom intended to just mic the front of the hole. However, because of stage bleed or tonal desires of the engineer or producer, an interior mic position is required. A standard boom can swoop down from that waist-high elbow into the center of the drum chamber ONLY if the hole is in a high “corner” of the resonant head. So I often put the hole near a lug that is close to 1 o’clock for such access, ahead of time, rather than detuning-rotating-retuning during a hectic and noisy set up.

@Cataclysm31 11 жыл бұрын

Awesome video! When tuning my BD and bigger toms I also push down on the center (like seating, but not hard) to see if there are any ripples, then tighten accordingly. Apart from that, I tune mine in the exact same way.

@lahpcsanantonio8157 9 жыл бұрын

i just think there's too much dampening for that kick. there's already a dampening ring on the head and with three more things touching the heads just defeats the purpose of trying to find an actual tone of the drum itself.

@utubehound69 7 жыл бұрын

No that would cause warping in a lesser kit. as the other guy said he's got the right idea. Chk out Bonzolium Drum YT Chn. This dude is a mad player that has lots of drums & is very good & funny he did a great drum head changing tuning video that is worth watching showing why you turn in a pattern that hold the head straight down like a car wheel when you have a flat you don't go in a circle its a criss cross pattern or you wheel won't seat flush on the wheel mount = loss of wheel & wreck. 8 lug do a Star pattern 12 lug do a Square pattern oh & seat the Heads too. That's common sense also Bozolium chn he shows te wrinkles where you can see the head being in a bind by sight as well tuning in a circle pattern is going to bind the heads & they won't last as long i.e. hold their tone. = less life more $$$. Same w.Gtr Strings you gotta stretch them seat them don't twist the strings use the right amount of wraps all determines the life & tone of the strings Bass strings are expensive. He can afford to change heads but many can't so unless you have lots of cash or endorsed by a head co. It would serve you to tune the optimum way. The end result is the same maybe like 9i said a lesser kit w/cheap die cast pot metal rings they will warp.

I do enjoy these videos by Mr. Drumeo. Good job. However, in this case I would have to say that in the end you have emasculated your bass drum and it sounds shitty compared to what it would sound like without all the muffling. Of course, don't get me wrong, 99 percent of drummers will be just fine with what you have here. I'm talking about a bass drum sound with a solid punch with all the tones in play. No mufflers whatsoever. Ironically I learned to play completely muffle free drums in college jazz bands. Let them be free. Liberate your drums from the Evil Muffler Empire. You obviously will have some overtones, and many of those can be handled with the way you tune your resonant heads. But mic your drums, such as with an Audix D6, and go through the board. If they must, the sound guy will "muffle" you ... but at least the sonic punch of bass drum will land a body blow to your audience.

If you are using Evans for resonant heads then you should definitely go for a G1. It is much more common to use a clear G1 but a coated would work for some Jazz sounds and a Bonham sound. As for the importance of resonant heads, well they are hugely important in the overall sounds and tones you can achieve. You should replace them periodically, maybe every second time you replace batter heads. Resonant heads create the note when the drum is struck. Batter heads are tuned for feel.

I bought a drum key that fits in my electric drill and now changing heads is a breeze. I always torque them properly with my torque key for the actual tuning. Saves a lot of time and tedium!
