Today we’re going through the entire process of tuning the batter head, resonant head, and muffling a bass drum so that you can make your kick drum sound way more awesome than you thought possible. We’ll quickly tune up the batter head before discussing all the factors that affect resonant head tuning. We’ll troubleshoot common bass drum issues like how to deaden it without adding more muffling, how to get a distinct “note” out of your drum, and how to quickly alter its tone and pitch on the fly during a gig. We’ll finish by answering the question of “how much muffing should we actually put inside our bass drum?” This is my realtime process of tuning any kick drum, and I’m leaving nothing out. There are no secrets, just ordinary methods that work. Be ready to experiment, too, because every drum is different. Follow the general guidelines, however, and you’ll be good to go toward tuning you kick drum and making any bass drum sound musical, deep, punchy, and beefy.

I LOVE how you don’t have annoying music in the background of your videos
Love when a drummer is actually concerned about the sound of their kit. Played with a few that had no concept of tuning. You are doing the music community a great service! Thank you.
I have been drumming for close to 20 years now and even got a portion of university percussion training down and it just kinda amaze me that i only recently found your channel! Lot of your videos would have been great like say 12y ago too. You are saving a lot of trial and error to the new generations!
Great Job! Best Kick Drum tuning video I have seen
Dude I loved every single cover, I love your energy and how u are able to talk while playing lol keep it up :))
Thank You, I loved this one
Hello Stephen again. This one re your "Learning & charting a song" article. I have just printed it out & started to read it. It sounds good & I intend to work through it very fully - this is one of my problem areas despite having viewed about 4 different drummers telling me how to chart/learn a song over the last 4-5 years. As a friend said once, I am a logical learner/player rather than an intuitive one (for instance, I cannot discern the difference between a Verse and a Bridge while listening, but I can Work it out).
Sweet. You’ve given me relief as mine are fairly well tuned- but I always think it could be much much better, so I’ve struggled with that until now.
I really love how you teach
Enjoyed the video. This is very useful information being as Im learning how to tune my kit. I do 9 wanna b one of those drummers who's kit doesn't sound good. Love the channel, keep up the good work 👍
That 20" kick drum sounds so
Thank you awesome job very good video..!!👍
Very interesting vid thanks dude 👍
It's thru, nice work man 🙏
I love this lesson
Nice overview.
Thank you!
Hey thanks ,I've got a little 20 inch with a bahia head on it for the pedal side and a pillow inside touching front and back heads. Sounds good and low
Thanks a bunch for doing this video. I noticed you cut your own hole in the drum. A friend turned me onto heating a tin can up nice and hot around the rim and just melt a clean hole that won’t rip. You can also just indent the head with the can to have a line to trace with your exact knife. Cheers!
Hi wow two years old video but helpful,new subscriber here,new drummer here lol,I been watching a lot of your videos,they been helping me out anyway my question is,what does putting a hole or port in the kick drum reso do? Thanks for the video
