Do you want to know how to tune your toms like a pro? Watch this video, and grab some of my tried and true tested hints. Nothing here is "rocket science". All you need, outside of these hints, is some time, and patience. I say, once a week, take one of your drums and detune, then retune it. Over the course of a month your tuning skills should drastically improve.
In comments let me know if you tune both heads to the same pitch, or like I'm currently doing, your top head lower in pitch?

I used to spend hours agonising when tuning my heads, I just wack them on now press down in the middle of the head and tighten the tension bolts till the wrinkles disappear and they sound perfect every time....nice video though !!

Like your videos I’ve been a drummer for many years and I totally recamend the tune bot once you know the pitch you like just save it on the tune bot and it will tune it to your liking every time also played on many kits but mapex has the best sound to me

@KirksDrumRoom 4 месяца назад

Yeah, I like the tunebot. It is true that I don't use it very often. My only reason is that I don't want to rely on it, and lose my ear for tuning. And maybe that's not even a legitimate excuse, but I'm stubborn. 😂 But the tunebot is a great tool! As for Mapex, I wasn't really even considering them when I was looking for a new kit. Then everything changed when I finally got to hear one up close. And now I'm a Mapex endorser. Other drums sound great. But my ear really likes the sound of my Mapex kit more.

@Dannyd135 4 месяца назад

@@KirksDrumRoom yes I totally agree I was actually looking at different kits but when I heard that mapex, I was actually impressed. As for the tune bot you have a point.

@ronnieomlettes1369 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. I go for the same timings on my kit.

i started always tuning with 2 keys a couple years back like Kenny Sharretts, but tuning is fun, i usually go loser on batter than reso, but been going 1-ply over 1-ply on a thicker shelled birch kit and 2-ply over 2-ply on a thin shelled maple kit, used to run 10" & 16" for a long time, recently went back to 12" & 16", where ive been going back and forth is with my snare drums, been trying more of a medium tight snare side head and a tight batter, feel like that still cuts but allows the wires to back off or go tighter without rattling like crazy

@KirksDrumRoom 10 месяцев назад

I used to be a 12" to 14" tom lover with a 20" kick. Actually, I still use that setup a lot when I play out. As for the 2 ply on the bottom, that's interesting. I'm going to try that. I have in my head what I think it will sound like. But I could be totally wrong.

@guitaristbiker 10 месяцев назад

@@KirksDrumRoom so that kit is a 2004 maple thin shelled pdp kit that i had all of the edges leveled and reshaped, basically even at no tension that kit will resonate forrrreevvvvvvver, so ive been running emperor clears on both sides i used to run a 10" & 14" setup over an 18" kick sometimes, but never have tried the 12" & 14" setup before

@KirksDrumRoom 10 месяцев назад

@@guitaristbiker That head combo makes total sense now. Awesome how you tried something most people would avoid, and you proved it works. High Five! 🖐

@jordanschlansky9329 10 месяцев назад

Other benefit to using two keys is you reduce the risk of the drum head being pulled unevenly to one side of the shell, happened a lot to me in my first year of drumming

@KirksDrumRoom 10 месяцев назад

That is so true!

@malletjazz Год назад

I'll tune the reso higher than the batter if I have different heads top and bottom (coated batter, clear reso, both single-ply). If I have the same single-ply clear head top and bottom, I'll go for the same pitch top and bottom.

@KirksDrumRoom Год назад

I can get behind that idea.

@synthesizers 9 месяцев назад

Great video. Quick question: when you test them, there is a very long decay for both. When they are on the kit, the decay sounds shorter. Is it some kind of gating on the mics or the decay is not being picked up by them? Thanks

@KirksDrumRoom 9 месяцев назад

That has to do with the different mics used. I purposely didn't use any sound reinforcement for the video in hopes the truest sound would come through. That said, getting what I actually hear in the studio onto RU-vid is a challenge. Ha!

@synthesizers 9 месяцев назад

@@KirksDrumRoom I actually liked that there was less decay ;)

@KirksDrumRoom 9 месяцев назад

@@synthesizers I think that could be a great video topic. I'm going to add that to the queue and see how I can make that work in a video.
