Very good video. Pretty much the same as how I tune, except I probably go a few more turns of tensioning before I start evening up the pitches. One of the most important things about the video is never highlighted though. By far the easiest way to tune a drum is by isolating the head you are trying to tune - by sitting the drum on a carpet or on a soft chair (as in the vid). I think a lot of beginning drummers try to tune drums with the drums mounted and resonating freely.

Nice vid. Resonant a step and a half higher than batter works almost every time. |

Anyway, this is exactly how I was taught to tune drums. It's a tried and true method. Steve

I wasn't being a wise guy; I think in intervals rather than steps when tuning drums. Steve |

 I'm glad you are all getting something useful out of the tom one - it was weird to put together because, as I mention in the video, I don't really have a "method" that I follow when tuning. Lots of listening and going by feel. I've taken techniques by Bob Gatzen (a close friend for more than 20 years and IMO the real champion of drum tuning) and stuff I've seen Will Kennedy do along with things I found that just work for me and thrown them all into a big tuning blender to get my method. | |
