Thread Starter | What Intervals To Tune The Drums To?
I've seen it discussed in a few threads about how tuning the drums to a song can make a big difference, and I agree. Just wondering what intervals or musical notes that YOU tune to. Thanks in advance.

 If you tune for a complete set/gig you should try to figure out what the most commen note of the soungs are. Than again I find it more imortant to tune the set to the room and it's optimum tuning range as well as a some what even charakter all around the set.

Tuning Drums to the key of the song is pretty ridiculous, but tuning intervals makes a huge difference, try a perfect fourth (e-a) between floor and rack tom, and the snare either a major or minor third above that (a to c/c#). this will open up the sound of your kit a lot as for the bass drum, try an octave below the snare |
