[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 97949, member: 126"] Re: Why did I piss off the headline drummer? This may be too much reading for one sitting but here is some information I wrote up about drums [url=http://www.resotune.com/About_drums.htm]About Drums[/url] I describe several alternate approaches for the mechanical task of tuning drums, while this is not as linear or simple as tuning pitched instruments to specific note pitches. The subjective part of what combination of head tensions to target is a personal opinion so I do not offer specific voicing advice but some do... [url]http://www.resotune.com/Drum%20tuning%20bible.pdf[/url] If you can't afford a premium drum tuning aid, there are cheap IPHONE apps that are (slightly) better than nothing for their almost nothing cost. [url=http://iDrumTech.com/]iDrumTech - Drum Tuner iPhone App | Drum Tuner, Drum Tuning and Drum Calculator[/url]. Even the cheap mechanical tuning aids are better then nothing for the truly challenged. I talk to lots of drummers, and admittedly the ones who talk to me are already interested in tuning their drums, but I don't think all or most drummers don't care. More likely it's just too difficult. Some drums are harder than others due to mechanical imperfections, and even the good drums are not trivial to dial in. I hope this info is helpful. JR [/QUOTE]
