is there an easy way of tuning my drums without having to buy anything?

Question

iv seen ppl use a tape of some sort to paste on skin and used the drum key to adjust the tension . but i want the right way to do it to get the right sound.

Answer 1

when you tune your drums, are ya gonna be lookin for a deep tone, or a more high pitched tone? just as long as they are "in tune with themselves", you should be ok. the tighter you tighten the lugs, the higher pitch. the looser they are tightened, they will have a deep sound. i always just tune mine by ear, but if ya wanna invest in a drum dial later on sometime, they are fairly inexpensive--like $50 or so at www.musiciansfriend.com. hope this answered your question.

Answer 2

That is an age old question. I've been playing almost my entire life and still struggle with tuning. Start by reading this article, but it will take hours of tinkering to get the sound you want without too many overtones. I just takes lots of practice so be patient. I finally realized the only way I would get the sound I really wanted was to trigger, but that only works if you are playing rather large venues with a very good PA.

You so could!! Do what you choose to do and study! enjoying the drums is a huge pastime!! It dosn't be counted how previous you're, the older the greater ideal cuz you study speedier! in case you reside in a pretty populated section get an electric powered drum equipment, a sprint greater costly yet you may play each and every time and that they are lots greater relaxing!
