Hi Kenny...I rented it and liked it a lot. We had already email contact. Old dutch drummer living in Austria 😅 Question my 14 inch has so much snare buzz 12 and 16 almost none. I am playing in a small room. What can I do ?? Thanks hope you have time...good luck with your Project !! 😊

It's sounds like "Call to the Post". Yeah! I played the tri-toms (tenor drums) in high school marching band. Our drum cadence had a tri-tom break where we played that. It was cool!

Even now, I tune a 5-piece kit like that. 12 B flat, 14 G, and 16 E flat.

When I add an 18 it gets a B flat. But my 10, on the upper end, gets a D flat.

The separation of pitches that you talk about are all present throughout a 7-piece setup.

I learned and confirmed it all from you, Kenny. I experiment and found what I like. Thank you always!

[Randy_Servello]

Such a clear, concise description of how to get these sounds from the toms. Great video!

[Chiroman]

Kenny, whatta great video & presentation. You are addressing exactly what I seek in my Kit. I'm a 71 yo recreational drummer, who resurrected playing after 50 years [1969]. Love that Big Rock Sound, Big Drum Sounds. You mention Aronoff, I read his Book which was great. This Lesson is Priceless. So glad i stumbled on This Video. I have come to learn what I did not have a clue about way back when, about Drum Heads, Drum Tuning individually and to each other!! I don't do Gigs, unless a Geratic band should surface around me or at least a Live music Jam with some old timers... Thx Kenny for this !!

[karriraisanen]

Oh man, I absolutely love your presenting style and that "southern drawl" in your voice! Thank you so much for all the great videos, and greetings from Finland! 🙌

[jimbo]

The intro to American Band is a great tuning guide... his 18” on TNUC!!!! U rock bro!

[mattlionmusic]

Those drums sound huge! Great tuning, great playing. Thank you for still making art in Dec 2021.

This was awesom! I have the exact set up woth my Pearl Kit.. Y'all should get his full lesson on his site. Worth every penny. I've been using tunebot for fine tuning for a little while and he gives you all the lug frequencies in the lesson too which is super helpful. First time I've had my kit fully tuned ready to go with zero muffling whatsoever!

[Soundhoops]

Your powerful drum sound it's the reason why you are best drumtech ever 🙏🙏

[andthensome]

I found that I like the top head tighter tuning better for recording. Especially for lower pitched tuning. 12 inch tom tuned to A#, 14 inch floor F, and 16 inch floor C. Using tunebot settings for minimum resonance, all the toms still have a nice sustain, but controlled and great for recording.

[OculusSF]

Man that last one(Kenny Aronoff "Arena Style") harmonized with the snare so well. Maybe a bit better than the previous one. As it sounded(to my ears) like the Snare was a G but the toms slid up to be right on the F A and C. Which made it great for songs in the Key of F. I'm not a drummer myself, but your vids are easy to watch and learn from. Allowing me to better communicate with drummers I play and work with.

[yioryaras]

How beautiful the tree tom perfect 4th tuning interval indeed is Kenny 🙏👍👌👏 I know now the reason for which my personal preference it is to mostly have them a perfect fourth apart. There's so much more definition while at the sane time they harmonising much clearer 🙏👍👌 Mind you I've got a lot of influence from using timpani in orchestral ensembles, still though, it does sound so much more of a wider range and it pleases ones ear. 🙏👍👌 Thank you ever so much Kenny, your hard work and talent in drum tuning it's certainly of a great help to many of us BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!! 🙏 👍 👌 👏 🎶 🥁😉

Wow I love this Kenny, really sounds great!

[nicolasollivier]

Cool!Also like the power chord tuning Fundamental, 5th and Octave from the 16"

[shawnjenkins]

Love this content! You’re like the love-child of Harry Connick Jr. and David Johansen.

[fede]

Amazing video and very helpful. Thank you!

[msgdob]

Love this! I have a Mapex Saturn (maple/walnut) 12/14/16 tom setup, and look forward to trying it ASAP. Great presentation style, and keeps it interesting.

[haydenmarkham-ball]

Hey from Australia Kenny! Could you do a video about jazz/big band style tom tuning? A lot of those drummers would use 12" or 13" rack toms and 14" or 16" and really tune them up so they didn't sound as thuddy. Some of the older funk drummers from the 60's used this tuning as well. It would be cool if you did a video on that as I love that sound!!

Also I use the minor 3rd tuning on my DW Performance Kit which I learnt from you, Absolutely love it!!
Keep up the good work
