I love that "Here Comes the Bride" analogy. Your guide is the first one that actually made my toms sound good.

I can like this video even before I watch it because I know what those toms sound like 😅🙌🏽

Never knew the importance of cleaning debris from the head to the drums and the here comes the bride melody is just brilliant. Just in time before I re-skin our church kit. Thanks fam! #gotpocket.

Thank you for this my guy ..your drums always sounding amazing..we also need a mixing drum course/ tutorial with plug ins and stuff. That would be dope

This is like behind the scene stuff. Tuning your drums really takes time and patience . You just really need to keep at it, just like J has been doing on @19:38. Really appreciate this video, this really helps me and validate that the best sounding drums has been spent time on tuning.

Life changing! Thank you for taking your knowledge, time, gear to show us some love tuning!! ✌🏽☺️

Bro, Man thanks for the tuning tips. You just fine tuned the process I had been using. Keep killin' it!👊🏾💯

can hardly wait for the snare tuning and the recording and mixing!

I’m so glad you started with the 12 inch tom, I always have the most difficulty with those.

Thanks for sharing. Always good to see the different processes from great artist. Looking forward to the bass, and snare videos.

Perfect tuning

I've been tuning drums for a long time and I never thought of using here comes the Bride Melody I've always used George of the jungle Melody interesting keep doing what you doing that's some great wisdom

Sounds great. Nice pure tone and they don't choke out.

Hey man, much thanks for the detailed drum kit tuning process. I am tearing down my kit and I'm following your step by step procedure to clean, retune, and then start sounding awesome. As I note I have a PhD in physics and I wasn't tuning my drum kit properly, thanks again.

definitely you have got those toms singing!!

"Here comes the bride..." Has put the beacons for me 😄

Great stuff bro

A lesson on mixing drums would be great. I really love the good work you're doing here.

This what we been waiting on bro!!!!

Thank you for this video! You're an incredible drummer... got yourself another subscriber!

Your ears are insanely good. Sounds amazing

Holy crap that preview was awesome I hope I get to play a little bit before I’m 73 years ago just started about five years ago

that's fantastic because I finally applied this last method (after using tons of other), and the by feel and ears worked perfectly on my toms ! I checked the note/frequency of each head, and I don't have an uniform interval between heads for each toms xD : so all in the feel, the ears and the "respect" of the drum without stricts formula# and algebra, no hassles. Thank you sir !

Definitely going to approach my drums with YOUR tuning technique!!!

Inspired me to properly tune my drums. Great video, very informative. Thanks!

I remember working at guitar center about 15 years ago, our Reference kit was BY FAR the best sounding kit we had, even vs the DW’s. I still remember that bad boy. Amazing.

Mind blowing with very simple steps I need to go back to retune my toms... Can't wait for the bass and snare tuning

YES dude !!! more stuff like this. Snare next, then recording, please!!!!

awesome vid!! very cool that you use those intervals between the toms. thank you JRod!!

Thanks so much bro!! The “here comes the bride” Tom explanation really put it into perspective for me and made it easy to understand. 💯

Sounds great! I usually tune my drums about 2 tones lower than the tone on the shell. Then they sound the same pitch as the shell. And the resonant head a little higher than the other. It’s very good and easy to compare with a tuning fork app. I tried this new method recently, have not recorded yet.

Thank you for teaching me that. It helps me a lot with my church drums.

Here comes the bride! I will never forget that!

THAT INTRO WASSSSS ANOTHER LEVEL MAN

Bro tune hitting that Toms were so soothing for some reason. @ 14:10

I watched this video like 29 times basically most of your tuning tutorials give me ideas

FINAALLYYYY LOL. Much needed. Cant wait for video 2.

Thank you very much J - ROD . ❤🔥

Anyone else notice he called the reso side the batter side and the batter side the reso side as he was taking the heads off!!! 😂

Great vid, I actually purchased my reference snare after watching you play yours on video after video, it will be cool to see how you approach tuning the same drum when you get to that episode. Thanks again 👊

I thought after watch this, my drums already tuned. Gosshhh time to working it out.

You fixed my toms, thanks G

Great Video! cant wait to see the next ones especially snare tuning👍🏾

I love the set up J - Rod You Are Cold 🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💯

nice one.... i learnt something new. Thank you so much JROD.

Thanks good process

I dig the way you tune your drums, I'll have to try your way put, thanks J Rod

Thanks 🤝🏾

A master class thanks

Excellent job, brother! they sound amazing

I love it

Question, did I miss it or how tight did u end up putting the resonant heads. How many turns? Roughly?

I loved the content. You're incredible drummer and maybe I can play better tuning my drums as you do haha. Thanks bro, greetings from Brazil

Amazing tuning. Love the video.

Thank You for making great content J-Rod!!

💯💯💯💯🥶🥶 u killin, dat hair cut is fresh 💯💯🔥

Commenting more to help the algorithm!!!

Me too that made a lot of sense and funny I just don’t want to make the drum sound like something I liked it first didn’t even notice anything like that and that’s exactly how I did it from the bottom up the biggest drum up

I find this very interesting 😊👍👍

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Thank you so much. I will like to send a video after am done tuning the drums to you.

I cry. I worked on shows where every band had to agree to share a drum-kit, We all just had to hope that at least one drummer was a good sport and they could just trade out cymbals from the cymbal bags upon the cymbal stands. I was the sound-guy, just trying to help. Bands tour with rental kits, and a house like mine back then might stow a rental-kit for a few years until we own it. Circumstance cries to all of us.

Yessir your tone is great

Thanx u so...dude...god bless you...

Amazing job as usual

amazing, thanks JROD!

Wow nice!!!

Finally out ❤😊 thanks bruh

Nice vid!! I would also like a in depth video on your how you mix your drums. 👊🏾

Thank you boss for this lesson I appreciate

such a good lesson thank you

Love your stuff

Love u dude!

Thanks fam I needed this so much!!!

My approach is completely different when it comes to turning! As far as I tune Batter heads to the same pitch as the resonator heads exact pitch using Reveille which the Melody is in thirds. This will make the drum resonate as much as possible! Then in order to control your sustain you slightly loosen the farthest lug from you slowly. This is how you adjust your sustain. Always start by tuning you biggest drum first. Get the note you want the lowest pitch that you want. If you have 5 Toms like I do you can only do the 4 drums at a time then start from the next drum up in size and to get the smallest drum in tune to make the same Melody! My drum sizes at 16", 14" 12" 10" and 8". Remember the farthest lug slowly to control your desired Sustain! As far what J-Rod is doing as far as Seating the drum head do it his way which completely correct. Try this and see the results that you get from this sequence. You will be surprised. Happy Drumming! :)

Great vid, I always have trouble listening 👂 for tuning

Just subbed. Thank you for the lesson bro🙏god bless you

Thank you! 🙏

Love your style !

Thank you so much for this video! This technique can also be using with 2 tons only right ?

Thanks bro

The bottom head of ur drums how did u tune that tight, medium or slack? I didn't hear u mention that in the video so yea.

Awesome 😍

Omo You good ❤

Perfect explained! Love it! Which plugin chain do use for your Toms in the DAW. What kind of editing ? ❤️

Sounds great. Do you know what Hertz you tuning too or what Note? I use my ears then my tunebot.

Hey Rod, whitch set up do you use to record yours videos? From Brazil here.

Is there another way to make a snare drum sound like a really good drum as part of the mix??

Can we get a video on bodybuilding? Haha.
