@matthorndrums I have so many questions that I would like to see a pinned response. First off what band are you setting up for ? Why use Remo heads vs Evans? Why Meinl Cymbals? Are these Industry standards or just specific to band preferences and other musical style preferences. I play with 3 kits Gretsch , Mapex and Yamaha . I know DW is amazing but out of my current price range. What is the purpose of the practice kit if you do this regularly ? Even if setting up for artist to practice? I just played a gig Saturday and then followed with a band practice with my second band on Sunday. I tour with the Mapex and use Gretsch @home for practice and use a Yamaha at 2nd band rehearsals. I tried Meinl customs and got spoiled by Zildjian Rock series. I hope I didn't throw too much at you . This looks like a fun gig setting up for these big shows.

Tried this tuning method july 2023 and it worked great. When rimples are gone tone/tuning is already close to final when you like a deep sound. Perhaps the traditional cross method /patterns for the tuning key during this process gives a more equal distribution of tension. The Remo head problem: mostly each head is in a different box. The problem may be connected to storing them all in 1 plastic bag during transport. If Remo ships them this way to you, you may contact them. Drumshops have big racks with each head in a box: that is the normal shipping method for quality drum heads. If they want to save costs because your heads are 0 $ because of the endorsement; they may consider 1 multi-box for each size of drumhead.

I was taught to change the head/skin and tighten like a tire ( star shape to tighten back n forth) but I see your way works as well, I will have to stay with my way since I am use to it and some time (and they do 90% of the time no matter how far ahead you thinks you are) things go wrong after replace the heads.

For that finger tip tuning, I do that sometimes as a "quick and dirty" way to get going. I ended up using this little 5lbs or so paperweight I had on my desk so I always had even pressure in the middle made it that much easier to get through it and if you're comfy with it, can do back to two hand tuning with the keys

Hi Matt, If someone has mentioned this before, ignore. But if you were to install some forklift "pockets" on the underside of the risers, you'd have much less of a "hold your breath" moment during the lifts. They aren't perfect but IF that load started to slip left or right, they would prevent it from toppling right off the forks. There are many companies that offer pre-engineered, bolt on units and a google search had many hits. The manufacturer of your particular risers may even have them as option. Carry on!

@danhaines Ай бұрын

Problem is, you'd have to factor in that every FL is going to have their forks set at a different width.

Only thing I’d say do with the finger pressure. Is go over other lug. And also don’t hit so close to the lug with P4 go past that extra layer you’ll hear the pitch a little differently.
