In this video I tune a Pearl MCX Custom 10 , 12, and 14 inch tom using a Tune-bot to specific notes and show you the frequency, notes, and how awesome it sounds. Tuning your drums to perfect 4ths is a great way to set up your kit for live shows or band practice.
I am playing Remo and Evans heads in this video, Sabian Cymbals, and Los Cabos drum sticks.
There is minimal processing done, A small notch at 500hz to keep the drums sounding natural. VERY minimal compression and that is pretty much it. Mics are CAD PRO 7 into a Presonus 16.0.2 mixer. Nothing fancy and the drum heads are over a year old.

Oh my goodness!!! This is the exact video I have been looking for!!! You will not believe how long I have been looking for a video to help me with my tuning and the rest of them are so terrible and non detailed. This really helped me so much and now my toms actually sound good!

@beyondbetrayal 13 дней назад

That is such an awesome thing to hear!!! I love sharing this stuff to help out others. Rock on!!

@JakerstaG Год назад

Never, in any tuning videos so far, have I heard anyone mention notes. Thank you very much.

@beyondbetrayal Год назад

It works very well. Easy to recreate when you change heads too

@NacekO 3 года назад

Awesome video. Just what I was looking for to tune drums for the heavy stuff :D Thank you very much for the video.

@KarlstadDrums 4 года назад

Awesome tutorials! I used to tune my toms very low and punchy with my Evans EC2 heads and maple toms but they didn't really cut through loud mixes, I'll definitely try this out in the future! Probably going to buy a tune-bot as well to help me get to these exact notes faster and easier! Definitely earned a new sub!

Thanks man. It takes some practice but the tunebot helped me alot.

Hi! Thx for useful video! What about your 16" floor tom which wasn't used at the video. What notes/readings would You recommend? Thx ✌️

@adrianpunga1998 Год назад

I want to say a very big thank you for this tutorial! I have the same sizes, but Evans UV 2's on toms and my drums sound awesome! Nothing's choked - just nice, fat tone with a good amount of resonance. Not sure if this is gonna be useful to someone, but on my other kit (different wood and heads) i used this tuning too, but i tuned my 16 inches floor tom to 98 batter and 159 reso. I did this trying to make sound good in combination with the other toms, tuned using your method and man, that floor tom was thunderous! So yeah, thanks again for helping us all sound awesome 😎

Hey thank you for the great stuff, i am from germany and my english isnt so good... i have a question.. i have an pearl custom seesion with a 10" , a 12" , a 13" and a 14" tom... i've seen in the video you have tuned your 10" tom on A, your 12" tom on F and your floor tom on C... which note would you prefer for an 13" tom? This would help me so much.. thank you... oh and before i forget to ask are your reso heads higher tuned than the batter heads? I think i heared in the video but i dont know for sure..

@CRUIZeR612 2 года назад

I watched your drum dial video before this one and I'm curious what the drum dial settings are to match this interval of 4ths, I play a lot of shows with multiple bands so the drum bot I borrowed st a show simply never worked out with all the ambient noise of other bands so I went back to my drum dial, but now I'm looking to swap heads to a different thickness on the resonant and curious if you've done such a thing of using both tools to get consistency in a live setting

@beyondbetrayal 2 года назад

Tensions will be difffernt with a thicker head, using the tunebot should get you the same "note" I find it quite consistent to tune to my previous settings.

@daveyboy8907 2 года назад

I have one of these tuners coming in a few days after watching your video..I have a 24,13,16 drum set..What would be a good number to start at on these,,I am running vintage remo emperor heads right now..Thanks man I subbed.

@beyondbetrayal 2 года назад

USE THE TUNEBOT website or app and punch in your sizes and desired resonance.. It takes some practice but their calculator is a good starting point. I adjust them from there. sometimes by hand sometimes with the tuner.

@AtomicCabCo 3 года назад

I did this with my 12" rack and my 14" floor. Rack sounds good, floor sounds like the craziest pitch bend ever. My drums are Gretsch Renown Maples, the floor is a 14x11.5.

@martinandersen6125 3 года назад

Your videos are great and truly inspirational! I have a kit with 10, 12, 13 racktoms and a 16 floor tom with Evans UV2 heads. How would you tune that kit?

@beyondbetrayal 3 года назад

I have never used the UV2 heads. I tune all kits the same pretty much though. I might go different in single ply but for dual ply heads it's the same. I always have my resos higher than my batters. Floor tom I may invert that if it rings out too much, or if it just feels too boomy, or impossible to play on.

@martinandersen6125 3 года назад

@@beyondbetrayal Cool, thanks for taking the time to answer! Great channel!

@MikeD606 4 года назад

Question: shouldn't you tune the lugs a tiny bit higher because the center of the head (where you actually hit when playing) is a bit lower?

@beyondbetrayal 4 года назад

Use the tunebot calculator on their site or the phone app. Basically, with a 10 inch tom for example. there is the fundamental note of the head, and lug pitch. You tune the lugs to a certain pitch and that sets the fundamental note of the drum.

@istvanhajdu5250 2 года назад

Awesome video, thank you! Can I ask what are your settings for the 14" snare and 20" bass?

@beyondbetrayal 2 года назад

Not sure my kick. Snare is always about 385-410 reso, batter about 280-350 range depending.

@ubersticks Год назад

Unfortunately you don't "set the Tunebot". Rather you need to let it capture a 196 Hz reading by adjusting a lug, then Store that into one of the storage locations for drums.

@BoboTheBonobo 5 лет назад

It looks like you don't fuss with muting the opposite head when you check the lugs. Is that correct?

@beyondbetrayal 5 лет назад

I usually set the drum on a pillow when I do it it's on the carpet here. The bottom head is muted when I tune. This video was more just showing the settings and the relation of the heads rather than how to tune.

Haha, sure, or just post here and I'll reply if I know the answer.

@Kevin-qy5ru 5 лет назад

beyondbetrayal I still can’t get my TM2 module quite dialed in.. mind you, I’m running it to a Roland kd120 kick drum... I’ve never tried it on an acoustic kick with a trigger on the rim. Maybe that’s why I’m running into issues... my main issue is it is not picking up all my notes. Settings are identical to what 99% of people have them at... but those 99% of people aren’t running it through an ekit kick drum.

@beyondbetrayal 5 лет назад

@@Kevin-qy5ru When I had my ekit I forget what the settings were. It worked amazing though. if it's MISSING notes, It could be a few things. Turn the sensitivity up, turn the threshold down, or turn the decay i believe down.

Is it missing when you hit lighter, or faster.?

@beyondbetrayal 2 года назад

This was almost 3 years ago. I don't remember the notes. The toms were 10,12,14 though. I talk about the notes in the video however. On the tunebot website/app there is a calculator you punch in your drum sizes, resonance you want, and if you want your resos/batters higher or lower. I always tune my resos a bit higher. Stick to pretty high resonance usually works the best. It's easy to put a moongel on to dampen them.

@timcanavan9268 3 года назад

Great video, I did this on my 10 and 12 DWs and they sound awesome, do you happen to have settings for the rest of the kit? 8 16, snare and bass?

@beyondbetrayal 3 года назад

snare is about 380-410 reso head depending on the sanre. Tighter reso, less overtones, don't go too much or you will choke the drum. Batter I go about 300-350.......... once again, preference is huge here. do you want deep sounding or a higher pitch crack and more rebound.. Bass is an odd one. I have mine tight for rebound but use triggers. If not basicly just above wrinkles with a towel/pillow inside. I'll adjust the batter for rebound. Sometimes just a few 1/4 turns on the reso too.

Try doing 3rds, 4ths, or 5iths between the toms as well. Or the "my girl" tuning. Hum that song and those are the notes of the 3 toms.

How is the best settings for 16"?

@hannes1734 День назад

Depends. 16x16 Sonor S-Classix with a PS4 batter is best (in my opinion) with 80Hz for the top and 130 for the bottom. My Tama Superstar 16x14 has a G2 on top and wobbles at this setting, 90 for the top is better.
