Drum dials


ive decided to ask for a drum dial for christmas, but theres a couple different options, and i dunno which one to get.

theres the Drumdial
Buy Drumdial Drum Tuner | Drum Keys & Tuning Tools | Musician's Friend

and theres the tama tension watch
Buy Tama TW100 Tension Watch | Drum Keys & Tuning Tools | Musician's Friend

both seem good from the reviews, but has anyone owned/used both? im pretty sure both are good choices, but is there anything better about one than the other?

Re: Drum dials


When I was looking butter, I found that the Tama was more money and didn't offer anything more than the Drum Dial so I went with the DD.

Re: Drum dials


I can see that the Tama has gotten more rating stars by those who know nothing about calibrating a meter.

The DrumDial has calibrating features for those who know how to use them.

The Tama is more popular by it's brand name and hasn't been around as long. From the picture I see that you may have to send it in for calibration every once in a while.
