One of the best general tunebot videos and thus far, THE best example of practical application of the tune bot tuning. Just got my tunebot a couple days ago and the option to space the tone of the toms in increments is an option I put to use thanks to Geoff! Well done.
Your 10 inch tom sounds incredible! I just picked up a tune bot. I already fell in love with it. Drums sound great, and ya can consistently get your kit sounding great fast before a gig.
Thanks for the info. Again, nicely done. Those pinstripes sounded surprisingly great!
great video, very useful in pointing drummers in the right direction with various tuning methods
Very good video. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. I have been playing by ear since I was a kid and this tuning bot is really going to help me out when my new kit arrives on Tuesday.
Good stuff mate keep up the good work nice playing as always
Great video really informative and practical tips
Awesome video. Very helpful..
This is helping me so much. Thanks bro
I copied your settings on my Ludwig Classic Maple kit and they sound pretty good! I couldn't get the bottom head on my 10" tom to 262Hz, so I kept both batter and resonant heads the same.
luv your style
no problem, you guys are collectively changing the way the instrument sounds.. look forward to the android or windows version...
Great help cheers. What size toms are those Hz used on in the vid? I have a 12'' 13'' and 16'' Thanks
the toms I use are all 10" 12" and 14" . thanks G
Hey guys! Could you help me? I really do like the very first tuning 4:55 and would like to get this "singing" toms sound too but the problem is my toms are 12" 14" and 16". Do you have any idea how to do it? What would be my tuning? Thanks for the answer
Great vid. Tried out the geoff 5 step. Sounded great but buzzed the shit out of my snare. Gonna try the 3 step next.
I like the method 5 sound. But I've got 5 toms. 1 higher and 1 lower. The tunebot site is limited on 5 tom sets. What would you tune them too? And where is your snare set? Sounds great
Hey, What are the frequencies at The several lugs?
i have a DW collectors series from 2001 ... i noticed they stamp notes inside the drum ... but i also noticed in my snare ( DW blk nickle over brass ) 14x5.5 there is no such stamp .. what note would be best for said drum
Nice work. Can you explain the sticking you did at the 5:40 mark?
Awesome video Geoff! So if I wanted to expand on your G, D, A tuning to include an 8" and a 16" respectively they would be?
8" C 262, F 349.2
16" E 82.4, A 110
Is that correct?
Thanks ! & Happy New Year!
Anthony Francese you will have to try it.. sadly tuning doesn't always follow a mathematical equation.. some just don't seem to work.
Cool video. Thanks for the mention of iDrumTech! Rock on!
Thanks Tkharri which tuning did you like best? G
If you had two floor Tom's say a 14 and a 16 what would you tune them too? This tune bot is driving me crazy man... I have no idea how to use it and my drums sound terrible. I'm taking them apart after I get off work and I'm going to try again.
I'm new to drums. I'm into metal like pantera and carcass. what would be good tunings? What would be a good Kick drum tuning?
Vic Williams go to the tunebot website
What do you reckon sounds the best?
hello sir, my tom no.1 8x10, tom no.2 9x12, floor tom 16x16.. (Ludwig) how much is that hz?? can i follow yours as well??
have you ever tried finding the fundamental resonance in hertz of the shell (heads off) and then tuning both top and bottom head to that?
What you would get is a sustaining, ringing drum with tons of sympathetic vibration. But it would be loud, if loud is all you're looking for.
What key is your snare?
Nice video!!! Are you still using the tune bot? What do you think after this many years, is it worth it?
Absolutely!
The 3 Step: 4:52
Geoff Fry Method 5 Steps: 6:21
Mark Schulman Pink Tour Settings: 7:48
first I played "Herta"... Google that.. then a take on let there be drums by sandy nelson RRLL RRLL RRLR LRLL Thanks G
Could you tell me which notes you use on the bass drum for these settings?
I made this so long ago but I usually tune to abut 63-66 on 22" bass
Kick 22" and snare 14"?
I'm assuming tom 1 is the high tom?
What reso head you have under pinstripe ??
they are single ply clear remo. stock heads that came with this kit.
What is the tuning of your Snare Geoff ????
+Gustavo Lamoza sorry I don't know what it is on here but as a general rule it is normally 380 (up to 400) bottom and 240 up on the top... often 260
4:50
G,d,a,tuning sounded best to me geoff good job will be trying it with my tune bot.
tkharri have fun, mine has changed a little now to
batter
res
G/196
246/B
C#/137
175/F
A/110
C/131
I really liked the 3 step. Sounded really nice and meaty. Did you have the snares on during the 3 step because I didn't hear any sympathetic vibration?
denlrod I cant remember but I prob turned the snare off.. I always get a lot of sympathetic snare with my 10" toms.. that's the main reason I have now changed to just 12" and 14"
Is it Each lug hz is?
yes
what about Tom 4? numbers please
Top = E/82 Hz Bottom = A/110 Hz
anyone else notice all the orbs all through this video?
acrock21 Yep. We’re never alone 😉
those are fucking DUST fucking DUST, geez
The Yamaha kit sounds way better.... Cool video :)
I completely disagree with what tuning bot is showing.
2nd tuning was most pleasant for me, 3rd is more less, 1st is just completely bad.
2nd tuning has in my opinion fundamental audible notes from high as C#, G#, C (slightly overtones to D#).
I've seen hell of videos where people blindly believe the tuningbot measurements - all i can say: is it hard to understand that people hear not the measurements of this device but the audible note? Get some keyboard app - and check what you hear - it would be the only unbiased and honest thing.
Moreover, what's the logical purpose of checking tuning with a slight spank of a stick when you're bashing your kit when playing? Head deforms, resonates in completely different way when you bash it, not to say the shell itself has different response. A lot of variables.
Lol.
Estão desarmonizados por estarem desafinados. Tom 01 mais grave que o tom 02 que por sua vez, mais grave que o tom 03. Essas frequências mostradas não condizem com os timbres mostrados. Se esses tambores soassem realmente nessas frequências ainda assim estariam desarmonizados e sem lógica, já que todas as peles precisam estar numa mesma frequência para que os corpos representem seus intervalos relativos às suas dimensões. Esses afinadores reconhecem frequências mas não afinam peles. O primeiro tom está de fato mais tensionado que o segundo mas em sí está desafinado e jamais se harmonizará com os demais. O aparelho reconhece a tensão mas a tarefa de afinar cabe ao músico, entende? Em resumo: se você sabe afinar, o aparelho se torna inútil. Seu cérebro anulou seus ouvidos por acreditar nesse aparelho. Quem inventou esse aparelho não sabe afinar tambores porque se soubesse não o teria inventado! Kkkkk
Drums aren't supposed to be tuned to notes. They are not a melodic instrument.
Incorrect
@@EricLThomp75 No, correct. DW started doing that. It had never been done before.
You might want to stop smoking that stuff and definitely never do anything in music
@@jerryleokirkman9460 Really, how the hell was somebody supposed to tune to notes prior to these apps? Who ever said tune to notes 15 years and prior? Nobody, because nobody did that. DW started that craze to sell their overpriced drums.
@billbillards569 so there were never any resources to be able to tune to pitches before apps?.....like maybe matching the drum pitches to a guitar or piano? Hmmmm got ya! So, DW are the only drums that can be tuned to notes? GTFOH troll
