I never would’ve thought to make the drum sound good you tune, the drum to where it sounds good, that’s just brilliant

Thank you for taking the time to post this. Everyone needs well tuned drums!

This was super helpful and well explained! I also appreciated that you addressed common problems. Sometimes tuning videos are quick and the drummers do something and say 'thats perfect'. This definitely isn't my experience ahhaah

He said it best, “Clean drums, God’s worthy of that, good sounding drums, He’s worthy of that too.”

You did a great job in this video. That’s how I tune. I made a system for myself that so far seems bullet proof. Finger tight and quarter turn all around in star pattern and then half turn in star pattern and then a full turn in star pattern. I listen to make sure it doesn’t sound like a flappy paper and if it does a 1/8 turn in star pattern. Once is good if it’s too low I’ll do a full turn clockwise. Then put on the top of the head the same way and finger tighte it and then do 1/2 turn in star pattern and then a full turn all around. I’ll listen to it and if it sound like paper I’ll do an 1/8 of a turn clockwise and then if it’s good but sounds like it’s high I’ll flip upside down and take an 1/8th counter clockwise on the bottom off. By then it’s perfect. I’ll beat it up with my sticks until I shake it out of place and usually it deepens on its own. After that I hardly have to touch it.

Nice Video! But isn't it better to have the same pitch on both sides? Because your high Tom starts with a high pitch an at the and of the sound it goes Lower

When I first started drumming I would use a DrumDial and always wanted to learn tune by ear, I suppose it would mean starting to understand your instrument and how pitches/tuning works and different styles, plus....What kind of drummer WOULDN'T want to know how to tune their drums and having that skill?!...Anyways, I say my advice is using DrumDial/Tunebot, in my experience I used the DrumDial to get me the tuning I liked my drums to be at recognizing what it sounds like getting there and the feel, and detuning and trying to get there by feel/ear. I highly suggest people beginning at drums to eventually try tuning by ear. It's an awesome skill and nothing feels better then people telling you your kit sounds killer and it being all because of your ability to tune!

We’ve been running triggers for a couple of years now and I love them, however I keep getting request from our drummers to mic and trigger. I’m not sure I understand the benefit nor the methodology in running both.
