Couldn't resist: this is the 80/20 Drum Tuning method right here 🤣🤣☝️☝️

[eden]

anyone else think rob is one of THE MOST underrated drummers on youtube?

tell your friends about this dude, he deserves the very best

[mikepj]

My friend you just saved my night. My 10 year old hated his drums and was getting all upset so we watched your video and followed you step by step and that magic was back in his eyes and face. THANK YOU THANK YOU!! You take the fear out of tuning.

[biggsenator]

I have been playing for 49 years, professionally for 39 of those, and I can say that nobody has cut through the unnecessary complication of tuning better. The great thing about this method is that, if you want to tune your drums to notes, or just higher for jazz, etc., this method still puts them in the perfect place to begin. Rob is right at the top of drum instructors on the internet. Good material presented in an understandable way, through an enjoyable and ingratiating personality. Don't forget to accommodate his request and share his videos!! He deserves it!!

[SOBR]

The only thing I don't like about this is it's proven to me how much time and money I've wasted on tuning gadgets, videos and tuning techniques. I'll never waste my time and money again on getting a great drum sound.

[Sausagey]

Me: *is watching in bed*
Rob: “Get your tom and drum key”
Me: 😐

[WayoftheFerret]

I haven't drummed in 4 years because I basically gave up on trying to get my cheap kit to not sound horrible...I just tuned my floor tom with your method and the magic is back. I can't thank you enough.

[MrShaggrock]

Bottom line: Rob's method works like a charm. Toms tuned in 10 mins, and sound is awesome. Thank you!
I ran into a tiny problem on the first try tuning Rob's way, and I want to share it.
I made the skins finger tight, but there were only very small ripples that disappeared before I had even touched all the lugs. Turns out I had finger tightened too much, and this alone made some of the ripples disappear. On second try I finger tightened just so the lugs barely resisted turning, and there were the beautiful ripples! So, if you have a problem, maybe you are finger tightening too much.

I dread to think how many hours of my life I have wasted tapping drum heads and making tiny adjustments. This is so simple and it works.

I’ll never get that wasted time back and neither will anyone else at sound checks or in the studio who’s had to wait for me to stop obsessing about overtones and intervals.

Absolute game changer. This is the only tuning video you need to watch.

[erinlenth]

I've been tuning my toms using this method since the day you posted your original video and haven't touched my DrumDial or used any other drum-tuning witchcraft since.

[realRonPetersen]

“It’s not rocket science”. I love this guy. Rob’s got my attention.

[mattydread]

I am one of those drummers...saw the first vid and BOOM! Also the bass drum: tune it flat turn it back - don’t forget the “Maximum Thumpification”!

[cobuspotgieter]

Rob! My man. Killer video, this just saved me so much time.

[Tekkerue]

Ok, I tuned my drums right along with you but my v-drums still sound exactly the same as ;)

[snarfusmaximus]

I'm a 44 year old first time drummer and just got my first kit. Spent an hour dicking around trying to get my toms sounding right. Watched your video, applied your method, and got it perfect first time. Your snare video was a massive help too. Thanks heaps.

[saltysaltine]

I’d never had compliments on my Toms before seeing Rob’s videos a couple years back... now people ask me what my secret is. I simply say a decent set of heads and Rob Brown. Thanks Rob, you’re the man.

[dalepenney]

I just watched this...again...recently. THIS REALLY WORKS!!!! Why has no one else ever mentioned this? EVER!!!

[drat]

Wait . . . You can tune a drum without a Drum Dial and a stick of bearing edge conditioner??? Mind blown. Thanks for keeping it real and real simple.

[davezeppettella]

I was recently hired to teach at a local music store. Walked in the first night and they had 2 low budget kits set up complete with original factory heads. Amazingly, the snares and kicks sounded o.k.; but the toms were beyond awful. I had just seen this tuning video, so I decided to try it out. I tuned 4 toms in 15 minutes and couldn't believe how good they sounded even with those garbage heads on them. Great tip! Thanks, Rob!

[kevin]

I have been tuning like this for along time and I'm asked at every gig how I get my toms to sound like I do. I point them to Rob' s channel. @Flannel Daze
