Here are some tips for tuning drums: Use a drum tuner: A drum tuner can help you adjust the pitch of your drums. Check the tension rods: Tighten the tension rods finger tight, and then use a drum key to tighten each rod equally. Listen for a consistent tone: Tap the drum head around to check that each rod produces a consistent tone. Adjust the resonant head: The resonant head, or bottom head, of the drum affects its overtones and resonance. Thinner resonant heads are more sensitive, while thicker ones sound darker. Consider the frequency: Lower frequencies are better for rock, while higher frequencies are better for jazz. Tune tom-toms to a scale: You can tune several tom-toms to a musical scale to play a melody. You can also improve the sound of your drums by: Changing the heads Centering the heads Applying wax Checking the bearing edges Making sure the drumheads fit properly Experimenting with different stick tips Increasing the sustain of your floor tom Checking the bass drum beater read less
