It takes careful planning to decide exactly which pitch is best, but our man George is going to take away some of the mystery and help us achieve the best sound possible. Check it out!

I've just found a snare, a tom, and floor tom for 35$ at a local thrift shop!! I don't have a full kit yet but that's alright, I just wanna bang on some drums. Thanks for the tutorial!

Bro did yo get a full kit yet😂

This helped me so much since I had a 16 and 18 in floor tom. And forever I was using the app drumpro tuner. And it seemed like forever I couldn't get the pitch I wanted. Tuned my 18in tom perfectly watching this method and currently tuning my 16 in w the same method. Thank you for this

Is that a Tama SLP? I like how shallow those rack toms are

[@gkejeknsjdn]

I wish I could have drums

[@LerekoRatauMosa]

U will get it

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Nice but tuning depends on music (playing) style. Big bang or dynamic phrasing. As well as any miking, close or overhead

[@funkymonkey529]

Maybe it's because of 25 years on guitar but the bottom definitely had a few spots that sounded pretty different to me....

[@dylanbaldwin7934]

I notice that with most drum tuning videos. Idk if the audio really does it justice.

[@tokiboi6777]

equal? are your ears made from wood?

mine just comes loose again after an hour of playing. i then tried tuning it higher to stop this happening but it sounded like crap

[@benwegner880]

If you haven’t fixed it yet, you might need to drop it almost so it’s off like where he started in the video with the batter head and give it a good stretch the same way he did. That might fix it. Otherwise depending on how old the head is you might be in for a new one.

I fixed my floor Tom because it sound to high
