First time doing this. Got a digital drum dial to set up a new PDP set Toms: 7x8 8x10 9x12 FT: 12x14 14x16 BD: 18x22 SD: 5.5x14 Any recommendations for tuning with the stock heads? And… would the settings be any different if/when change to coated batters in future?
8" 76 top batter 76 bottom resonant, 10" 76 top batter 76 bottom resonant, 12" 75 top batter 75 bottom resonant , 14" 75 top batter 75 bottom resonant, 16" 74 top batter 74 bottom resonant, 22" 74 kick batter 73 front resonant, Snare 89 top batter 82 bottom resonant The settings would stay the same for coated heads. These settings will work well for you, tuned to the mid range with excellent stick response and a nice downward sound progression with plenty of note spacing between the toms.
Hi. I bought a Drum Dial last night and tuned my toms to 75. Pretty good, but there's not much definition from my floor toms, and it's hard to tell them apart due to lack of definition. Any guidance on how I should space out my toms? I have 7x10 8x12 14x14 16x16 They're all maple and fitted with Pinstripe batter and ambassador res. Thank you so much.
