After you’ve tuned your set to your liking you can also store the pitches of all your drums in tune-bot to allow you to quickly retune to the same sound over and over again. Tom Tuning A good way to tune your toms and your snare as well, if you like, is to use notes in musical intervals or chords for the fundamental pitches of the drums. One consideration, in selecting which interval or chord to use for tuning, is the number of toms (and optionally snare) in your set. If you have a small number of drums you might prefer larger intervals between drums whereas with a large number of drums you might be better with smaller intervals, otherwise, you might span too small or too large a range of pitches with your drums. Summary of Tuning Steps 1) Choose the fundamental notes for every drum using Table 1. 1 2) Decide on the amount of Resonance : low, medium, high or maximum and if top or bottom head is higher in lug-frequency. 3) Calculate the top and bottom head lug-frequency for every drum head. For each drum: 4) Tune top and bottom heads to required lug-frequency. 5) Equalize top and bottom heads. Note: These formulas may not be exact. Depending on your drums dimensions you may have to fine tune the lug pitches to get the desired note: These formulas will however get you close! 1 Explained in next section. © Overtone Labs 2012.
