The tuning pattern will be shown automatically and the detected pitch differences will be shown and stored in a clear overview. When you start tuning the first lug pairs, try to stay a bit below the target lug pitch. (Stop tuning the pair and jump to another pair, when you're within a -2 Hz range or so...) Once all lugs are tuned up, often you'll see that the -2Hz difference is cleared because the overall head tension increased when you tuned the other lugs as well. This way you can avoid having to tune down lugs a lot. The trick is not to focus on getting a single lug right at once. It's more efficient when tuning in small increments and switching to other lug-pairs often, following a star pattern. In short; the pitch analysis will be done by Drumtune PRO, not the tuning itself. It might require some practice but it's a quick and easy way, once familiar with it.
The first part of the video is from another take... As you can see there's a cut in the video there. After checking the fundamental I noticed it was tuned quite above the target tone I was going to tune to, so I tuned down the drum a bit in between the takes, before continuing to lug tuner, so it would be faster to reach the target frequency, in order not to make the video too long & too boring. Sorry for the confusion, but good eye :)
My Drumdial Pro screen doesn’t look like this, with the drum and each tension Rod being illuminated green or red when tuning or being correct. How can I find that?
Hi Alex, this is an video from Drumtune PRO v.1.0 on iOS, launched in 2012. It's the predecessor of the current Drumtune PRO 2.0. Over the years, the app evolved, the UI changed etc. If you want to use the LUG TUNER mode in 2.0, do as follows. Go to BASIC TUNER mode, detect a lug pitch and press "lock target". Next, you'll see the 'lug tuner icon' appear, at the middle-right side of the tuning scale. Press that icon to enter lug tuner mode. If any questions, feel free to reach out at support@drumtunepro.com. We're happy to assist. Thanks!

How do you know where to set the tuning at since all the drums are different sizes? And of course the snare will be different too...for instance, what note should an 8" tom be set for? A 10"tom, etc?
Hi Michael, just create a kit and access the kit interval screen. Here you can adjust the interval between the drums of the kit to get a perfectly balanced sound.
Hi Bishop: create a tuning preset and press its 'pencil icon' to go to its settings screen. Under the 'fundamental & Sustain' tab, you can now select a fundamental and see estimated value suggestions for batter and reso.

You have to create a tuning preset in Drumtune PRO 2.0 and activate lug focus, in edge mode when the right overtone is detected. Next you can swipe the screen left or tap the lug-tuner mode icon to enter the 'lug tuner' mode.
No, it works with all kind of tips! We just use a mallet tip in this video to make the tone more clear, with les 'attack'. There are other videos with normal tips too :)
In that case select the amount of lugs in the options of the preset and set it to '8' lugs. The app will load a drum with 8 lugs and a fitting tuning pattern. Drums with 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 lugs are all supported in Drumtune PRO 2.0.
There's a built-in solution to deal with unwanted overtones. Using lug/center or center/edge mode, doesn't require to mute the opposite head. You can tune unmuted in these modes ;)
That's appreciated, but it isn't that difficult to muffle the 'other' head while tuning, since (a) it's easier to tune a drum head when it's sitting face-up to you, and (b) it's easy to get face-up when you place the drum on a blanket or towel (or your knee). Additionally, it is way harder to tune a drum head with the drum on it's side. I suppose the only application is tuning in the snare stand on set where time is a factor.. on stage or in the studio. But most people using this tuner app are those that haven't learned to use their ear, and/or they want to check their setup. Usually that is done in their practice space. Anyway, I will check this out this weekend and report back. FWIW, another drum tuning app called iDrumTune DID have an issue if the 'other' head was not muted/muffled. ttyl
Yeah, this way you can tune a drum on a stand. But you're free to tune it on a flat surface too. You can use basic tuner mode AND preset tuner mode with a muted opposite head too. Only in 'preset tuner' mode it's required to hit the center of the drum, to let the app know the fundamental tone of the drum. When you hit in the center, it's important that both heads can vibrate freely so the fundamental tone can be generated. Once the fundamental is known, you then switch to edge mode, and the app will search for the right lug pitch and deal with unwanted higher order overtones. To start fine-tuning, it's also recommended to activate 'lug focus or 'lock' target' once the right lug pitch is displayed; this way you can clear all lugs of the head to that pitch conveniently. 'Lock target' or 'Lug focus' also has a built-in, powerful solution to deal with unwanted overtones. While you're testing: any questions contact support@drumtunepro.com. We'll be glad to get you started or provide support in case of a request. Cheers! FWIW: iDrumTune has a selectable 'filter' that can help when tuning unmuffled heads, did you try if it worked in such situation? TUNING RANGE: Drumtune PRO has a tuning range from 30Hz- to 385Hz/400Hz. When overtones above 385Hz-400Hz are reflected, the app will give random values in return. Once you see it, you know it's out of the tuning range of the app. (EG when you tune a snare drum's fundamental above 247 Hz/B3 or when you tune a snare reso head above 400Hz, you'll be out of the tuning range of the app.) BTW: In general when tuning drums with ANY pitch analysing tuner, being an app or other, some overtone-issues may occur from time to time. If you use Drumtune PRO, you have the option to use center/edge mode. TIP: If you're really stuck on a difficult lug, experimenting with placing a cymbal washer at 90° from impact spot will help suppress higher order overtones while tuning. This tuning trick will help with any electronic tuner in such a situation.
"the right pitch". That's my problem. I understand the idea of acoustic resonance, and that it depends on the drum itself, as well as the heads installed on it. And the apps out there seem to have an option to store settings for different drums and different sets. How do I determine the pitch I need to tune to? It seems the tools are good at helping you tune to a given pitch. That is the second half of a the problem, the first half being the determination of the acoustic resonance... or is that what you are calling the 'fundamental' pitch? Thx (and yes, I'm trying the various artists settings out there, which is a starting point I guess)
And I suppose the third part of the problem is finding the different pitches or tunings that allow that specific drum, with the specific heads installed, to sound good in different styles/situations.
Do you guys think you'll ever consider making it free? :) would be great for any level of musicians and would save people a lot of money instead of buying a $100 tune bot
Kris Poorman In a matter of speaking we considered this, but then realized that staring at an empty fridge wasn't an option. :) Nonetheless, we'd like to explore the concept of almost free publicity, and give away a free download code of Drumtune PRO (for iOS) to the first one that shares this video and mails us on support (at) drumtunepro.com with the proof...
Of course! Listening to your sound in order to able to tweak it until you reach the musical sound you are after is very important! The app doesn't make tuning decisions for you. It is a tool that analyzes the drum's pitch to assist you to achieve an optimally cleared drum head. As a drummer, you are responsible for your sound choices.

Did anyone else notice that the fundamental 209Hz decreased to 200Hz, even though all the lugs were TIGHTENED during the course of the video?
