Thanks so much! I wish I could do this every gig to be honest, just to show you all what the processes are like from gig to gig. But lots of times I can’t record. But will when I can! 🙏🏽 thanks for the encouragement

Brent! Blessings, it’s been a good journey discovering myself and my sound! I’m grateful that you are appreciative of it 🙏🏽

Blessings! I’m grateful for that!

Thanks a lot! Tuning is something that I feel we should all study and practice as drummers. And yeah of course anything of a higher quality should be better and easier to manage. but I feel like if you can tune, you can tune any drum to sound good… but if not, having a higher quality drum won’t just make your tuning magically sound good. We understand that a drum is a drum and doesn’t sound like anything until we put the key to the tension rod. Higher dollar drum or lower dollar drum can produce the same note, but often the tone will be different, resonance, etc. and Everyone has their own tuning method. Snares on or off, to notes, whatever it is. In my opinion, As long as the drum sounds good, then hey! Have a great gig haha

@@Haze_amaze_ I'm with you on that brother. Tuning a drum is as important as tuning every other instrument. A lot of practice goes into what it means to work with the material. You have the shells themselves. They are made out of wood that resonates in a particular way. But this is just the beginning. Because then you have the rims, which can vary in material, quality, thickness and weight. A flanged hoop will make a tremendous difference to a diecast hoop. And of course the skins are of importance too. This is where practice and experience turn into knowledge: because the experience with different skins (coated, clear, 1 ply, 2 ply etc.) is what makes the sound of a drum to your sound. But this takes time. When I talk to drummers, who have pain with the sound of their drums, it turns out to be quite a similar experience they went through: they don't spend enough time and focus on how to get the sound they want to have. I spend hours and hours just sitting in my room, tuning my drums and listening to them. This now gives me the possibility to tune any drum to my likes. Keep it up!

Man 😂😂😂 sometimes I think I tighten things down tight…. But quickly get humbled 😂😂

Will do! Thanks

Blessings thank you! I was playing for Leela James here

I’ve never heard an engineer ask me to turn the snares off while checking drums. It’s like you said, the snares are on for a majority of the show (most times the whole show in my case) so I’m also curious to see if any engineers ask for snares to be turned off ever

Yup! Tom tones vary by gig

Thanks!!! 16”

I generally have my bottom snare head tuned tighter than the top. I have a course out on my site www.hazeamaze.com and a short version on fine tuning my drums here on KZfaq

I’ve never considered! I like tuning by ear, but I’ll check it out! Thanks

@@Haze_amaze_ it takes about 1/2 the time too and time is something we can never make up! Best 125 bucks I ever spent!

Only on my 8” & 12” drums

Yup

@@Haze_amaze_ I didnt think PDP sounded that good. 🫵🏼

DW

No

@@alexv5786 all drums need tuning

DW Collectors Maple! 14x5.5 I believe

@@Haze_amaze_ my bad lol your crash

@@lanceschultz7132 everyone has their own tuning methods. If that’s your thing, then alrighty! I tune my drums off of the kit before I have them set up as a drumset. Then when I put them together I fine tune them. Because tuning always changes when the whole kit comes together. But whatever works best for you, definitely continue to do that!

@Haze_amaze_ i wasnt trying to be a smart ass, i was curious if there was a reason. Like, to see if certain toms activated snares or something. I apologize if i came off like a jerk man. Not my intention....

@@lanceschultz7132 oh no, I didn’t take any offense at all. Or in a “smart ass” way lol. I was saying that if it works, stick with it. And voicing that there are a ton of different ways to tune. I didn’t want to come off like any sort of way either, but we can only interpret what we think someone’s tone is when it’s through message lol. But in all, I didn’t think you werr being like that, and I wasn’t either. Much Respect!

@Haze_amaze_ stay blessed my friend.

YES, I do!

I told the ppl I would “splay my @$$ off at the show…” so i just gave an early start I guess ? Hahaa
