Re: tuning question
tune your lowest tom first. then tune middle tom (for a 5-piece set). lastly, tune smallest tom. try to tune to a "do-re-me" kind of sound, but it's more important to tune to what the drum sounds best at. keep in mind that there wont be a huge note difference between a 12" tom and a 13" tom. but you can tune the 12" on the high side and the 13" on the low side for more of a note difference. it is my experience that unless you are recording in a studio forget trying to tune the drums to a specific note. just tune them to sound the best they can given shell diameter, shell depth and type of heads used.
happy drumming!! |
