Man this was spot on! I’ve always play electronic sets, and I just got my first one with no idea how to tune, but now my set is literally singing!

Been using this technique for 17yrs. The only way I tune. After this I will then listen for edge pitch and match the pitch all the way around.

Drums are musical instruments if you are going to learn to play learn to tune them so massive thank you for putting this out

[robelson]

Yes, it’s the basic method that Rob Brown advocates. But so what? Someone who has never seen a Rob Brown video will have this show up in their feed and it could be helpful.

This is how I start with mine, then I fine tune to pitch using the iDrumTunePro app. But after starting out with this method, the fine tuning doesn’t take much.

Kudos on the Ultramarine Armory kit. Looks & sounds great!

That's the best way I've seen for drum tuning after 40 years of playing drums. Just goes to show. We never stop learning.. thanks a lot. Rob J

There really is no right or wrong way to tune drums The main thing is not to have any wonky ring That’s why I laugh when all the YouTube drummers say tune it my way Tune them till they sound right for you

After watching for 2 minutes I knew exactly where you got this technique from . Rob Beatfdown Brown’s drum Channel !

[jessedavis]

I’ve been playing drums for well over 20 years. I love how you explained finger tight, because not many people do that. In my preparation, there are more steps but we all have a process. Generally, the ideas are there and my only maybe critique. There’s more than one way to tune a Tom.

I watched your video and have to tell you that we change and tune surprisingly similar. One thing you could have added is the advantage of when pushing on the center of the head while putting on the new/different heads, also makes sure the head is seated properly on the shell.

[timsears]

I have used this method I found out from another video from another drummer (Beatdown Rob) and it does work ...surprisingly simple ..

[caryd]

The only thing I would add, is the final step for me is to lightly touch the head exactly in the centre with just one fingertip. Tap lightly with a stick around the perimeter at each lug. This is a drummer’s version of using harmonics, just like tuning a guitar, and gives the ear just a bit more information. Then you simply fine adjust until the “wows” are gone.

Rob Beatdown Brown demonstrated this exact technique on his channel quite a while back. Good tip.

Nice vid mate. As an Armory lover, their 22 bass drum with an emad batter is an absolute beast. 🍻✌️

[Herfinnur]

Sweeping generalisation: drummers as a species are the most fun to be around

[rcb_matt]

I do basically the same thing. I do the wrinkle trick followed by tapping around the drums to even out the lug tone. It took me years to figure out drum tuning. Watching all these drum videos online, I couldn’t ever duplicate it. I finally realized I won’t get that sound without the processing and mixing that they do as well. I play 1 up and 1 down so I try to get the tone of the floor Tom to be a 5th in a chord pattern, if that makes sense.

[lukeromito]

Nice tutorial! I’ve never heard of this method, but looks ands sounds cool.

Snare wire vid!!!
Drives me crazy lol.
I've only been drumming 6 months and tuning was of course difficult in the beginning because I don't have a mentor/coach/teacher. I have never even had another drummer come help me set them up. Which is probably partly why my kit is setup like most people have never seen lol. I do this basic method to get started now as well. I play a PDP maple kit, and DW has a sample kit on their website with all the sounds.You just click each part and it plays it one at a time. I also use DW heads so it's perfect. That's my last check. I listen to the 10, 12, 14, 16 and then hit mine and fine tune. I check them every day before I start playing to find tune.
I searched long and hard on YT for "what does a 10" tom sound like in tune" kind of searches. There isn't as much out there as you might think. Thanks for the content bro. You have a new subscriber.

[stanfordkoch]

I do this for years, i also tried the way i learned it from Thomas Lang, just press down the hoops firmly with the palm of your hand and finger tighten them and ready to go, maybe a little fine tuning thats all. Cool vid

[inspexinc]

Good thoughts, thanks. As others mentioned, I also think it's good to follow this up with pitch tuning at the edges using a tuner. Can't say enough good about DrumDial as an amazing tool for getting even tension on the heads.

Try switching your rims to triple flange 3 mm and the drums will sound incredible. I did this on my Armory and ain't looking back. On the rack and floor toms.
