Find your perfect drum sound! #DrumTuning helps drummers dial in crisp snares, booming kicks, and resonant toms. Tips, techniques, and tutorials abound for optimal head tension.

We have talked so much about how dampening your drums can shape and provide you with a different sound in so many ways. The one thing that seems to miss most people is that when you use dampening, it doesn’t mean you don’t know how to tune. There is a big possibility that you have unfortunately seen some people use dampening because of their lack of tuning. Yet, because of situations like that, we tend to shed backlight on dampening. Dampening is only a tool to shape the sound of your drum to serve a specific song or situation. Like anything else, this technique can be misused, but that doesn’t make it a bad thing!! The degree of dampening is all dependent on how much gaffer rape you use and what sounds you are looking for. All of this comes down to serving the situation and music at hand. Learn that, and you will never find dampening a problem again. Hacks like this remind us how many endless possibilities there are when you are willing to step out of your sonic comfort zone and experiment. What do you guys think? Which amount of dampening did you like the most? Did you like it wide open? Leave a comment. Let’s talk about it! Stay creative, and have a great rest of the week. Love you, guys!! Okay. Byeeeee. 🥁🤓👊🏻❤️🙏🏻 — #testabeatdrums #thedrumsultant #drumtuning #snaredrum #snare #drummer #vibe #geartok #drumtok #process #technique #fixxerupper #tuning #sound #CapCut #drumtuning #techtiptuesday #gaffertape #tipsandtricks #drumhack #drumsultant #techtip #snaredrum

This particular tuning is one that I have done before but not with this 14” x 5” Ludwig Supraphonic or this Evans Hybrid batter head. Let’s get it. This tuning is built on a well-tuned snare side head and properly tensioned snare wires. With that said, the snare side head is tight but has some give to it. The snare wires have an appropriate amount of tension that is not too tight or loose and allows the snare wires to breathe and not sound choked! This process allows the snare drum to have sensitivity and articulation while in this higher tuning. The batter-side tuning is a little more involved. For starters, I equally “finger-tighten” the tension rods as tight as possible until I can’t turn them anymore with the nub of these two Cherry Hill drum keys. After the figure-tightening, I use quarter turns to add more tension to the drum. This technique provides enough tension on the drum head and ensures you hear the shell and drum head working together. The secret sauce for this process is the drum key technique and drum head choice. The drum key technique allows me to know where I am tension-wise and know how much more I need to go when getting to a desired tension. The @evansdrumheads Hybrid Snare drumhead features a ultra-durable weave of two high-tensile fibers, creating a unique wear-resistant texture with extended life and enhanced sensitivity. This 14” x 5” aluminum snare drum tensions up fast, so having drum key technique and knowing your drum head is essential for me not to over-crank the drum that would cause it to choke. What do you guys think? How do you achieve a high snare sound? Does the process look similar to this? Leave a comment. Let’s talk about it! Love you, guys!! Okay.

This particular tuning has started to become a favorite of mine and since I had this 2007 DW 14” x 6.5” Collectors Brass I had to tune it up. Let’s get into it. This tuning is built on a well-tuned snare side head and properly tensioned snare wires. With that said, the snare side head is tight, or what some people call glass. The snare wires have an appropriate amount of tension that is not too tight or loose and allows the snare wires to breathe and not sound choked! This process allows the snare drum to have sensitivity and articulation while in this higher tuning. The batter-side tuning is a little more involved. For starters, I equally “finger-tighten” the tension rods as tight as possible until I can’t turn them anymore with the nub of these two Snareweight speedy drum keys. After the figure-tightening, I use quarter turns to add more tension to the drum. This technique provides enough tension on the drum head and ensures you hear the shell and drum head working together. The secret sauce for this process is the drum key technique and drum head choice. The drum key technique allows me to know where I am tension-wise and know how much more I need to go when getting to a desired sound. The @Evans Drumheads UV2 snare drumhead features a prominent attack, shorter sustain, medium brightness, and highly enhanced durability. This 14” x 6.5” Brass snare drum tensions up fast, so locking down these aspects is essential for me not to over-crank the drum which would cause it to sound choked. What do you guys think?

When it comes to drums, the little details can make the biggest impact. Yet, some things get so easily forgotten when dialing in our drums. Seating the drum head while tuning is one of those topics is one of those things. However, this specific technique is very much looked down on. Although, when a drum is made with quality and attention to detail like this Kelley drum, a couple of seconds of standing on this head will not affect the drum in any way. I've done this to hundreds of drum heads and have never had an issue with something breaking, and I'm over 250 pounds. For me, I'm changing out drum heads so much at work that doing CPR on every drum is exhausting and time-consuming. A thicker towel is used so that the drum head is not taking all of the impact, and I'm keeping the new drum head clean. This technique ensures that the drum head is stretched and stays in tune a little longer because of the work put into it before the stick touches it. What do you guys think? Do you stretch out your drum heads? Do you only stretch out certain brands? Leave a comment. Let’s talk about it! Stay creative, and have a great rest of the week. Love you, guys!! Okay.

When it comes to drums, it’s the little things that can make a big difference. Mallets are not one of those things that we don’t use all the time but are so necessary for a drummer’s stickbag. Most of the time we as drummers have small stickbags to only carry necessities and although we need mallets they end up taking up a lot of space in our stickbag. Well, a company named @dragonfly_percussion along with @tackle_instrument has solved that with one product called Toppers. Now, your favorite pair of drumsticks can become your mallets. According to Dragonfly’s website, “Toppers are interchangeable mallet heads that fit onto the tip of any medium-sized drumstick. Designed specifically for drum set and multi-percussion playing, they have superior sound quality, feel, and durability compared to conventional felt mallets.” They come with instructions and for something I didn’t know much about, the instructions on how to put them on were super helpful. These come in four different hardnesses which are soft, medium, hard, and low tops that can go on the stick’s butt end. These do not fit on all drumstick tips so make sure you have a pair that has a normal-sized tip or smaller. It’s so refreshing to know there are companies still finding ways to innovate and create great products. What do you guys think? What pair of mallets do you use on your kit? Have you ever thought to use these? Leave a comment. Let’s talk about it! Stay creative, and have a great rest of the week. Love you, guys!! Okay.

When it comes to drums, it’s the little things that can become a big problem. Securing and releasing wing nuts on the kit can make or break an entire night. If you didn’t know, “a wing nut is a small, metal fastener with two large “wings” that are used to tighten and loosen parts on drums and other equipment without tools.” Now I know that you noticed a specific phrase in this definition that contradicts this post, “without tools.” I believe this phase was used because until about a year ago, there was no specific tool for wing nuts. Most drummers would use wrenches, drumsticks, and their hands to loosen and tighten wing nuts. The Wing Thing eliminates having to bust your fingers, scratch up the chrome, or take out two drumsticks to just undo one bolt. This tool fits over any sized wing nuts and effortlessly loosens and tightens it. If you are concerned about breaking a wing nut or over-tightening it, just be careful. The tool is not going to mess up anything, but the improper use of the tool will. Be easy with it, and know you have control over how tight or loose you can make that wing nut.

The conversation about cleaning cymbals is much like the one about cleaning your drum heads. Just like drum heads, some drummers consider stick marks and thumbprints on their cymbals badges of honor. It’s a visual representation that shows their cymbals are being played and put to good use. Then others enjoy keeping their cymbals spotless, while others find themselves in the middle of the two. Arguing back and forth about if it’s right or not to clean cymbals is for another post. In this post, I’m showing you a quick drum hack that allows you to take off fingerprints and marks without fundamentally changing the sound of my aging cymbal. The main reason I can do that is because of the lemon-based @pledge spray I’m using instead of a chemically based spray. This spray allows the person cleaning to not worry about the integrity of the cymbal and just the surface of it. Any natural patina or age on the cymbal will not be affected. For someone like myself that likes to keep fingerprints off of my cymbals while still allowing them to age, this hack is perfect. Just like any hack we have talked about, give it a try on a cymbal you don’t use a lot and see if you like it. You never know what might come from it. What do you guys think?

When it comes to drums, the little details can make the biggest impact. Yet, some things get so easily forgotten when dialing in our drums. Conditioning or lubricating the bearing edges is one of those topics that we don’t talk about. However, this specific technique is very much overlooked. This is a simple way to ensure that your bearing edge is kept smooth and conditioned to allow drum heads to move freely on the drum before tensioning. This also ensures that there will be nothing stopping the flow of energy from the drum head to shell. Also, the Vaseline does not have any crazy chemicals in it. This ensures that nothing is being put onto the shell that will hurt it long term. Buttttt……. What do you guys think? Do you lubricate your bearing edge? Do you use this or something else?

The team at Big Fat Snaredrum is constantly thinking of new and creative ways to help drummers add control, creativity, and beefiness to the tone of their drums in seconds. As you all know, I am a big fan of products that help solve problems, big or small, that allow us as drummers not to have to think about the gear because we know it works. This concept has been what Kris and Ben have done over the years, solving problems by making it easy to create the specific sound for a session or gig. With this in mind, they teamed up with Andy Foote from Drumsupply to improve on a dampening idea drummers have used for years. Let’s get into this simple, affordable, and practical dampener. BFSD Textile Tone Control Mute RED Bandana features & specs (pulled from Drum Supply’s website): “Drum Supply has worked with BFSD to design a simple drum tone dampener that instantly gives your drum a subtle, warm tone without the buzz or the sticky tape. Easy to put on. Easy to take off. RED BANANA - DRUM SUPPLY EXCLUSIVE Toss on the top of a drum to mute and lower the pitch. Use edge cutout as an easy pull-up spot for fast removal. Features a flexible outer ring, with a fully covered inner thin clothe circle of lightweight cotton fabric that will let you dampen the entire drum head to get the next level of dampening... Textiles are another tone control option to add to your list. These physically “EQ” some undesirable, high-end tones that you may hear from a drum.” What did you guys think?

This particular tuning has started to become a favorite of mine, and I haven’t tried it on this Kelley 14” x 6” Maple Sunrise Snare Drum with an Evans G2! Let’s get into it. This tuning is built on a well-tuned snare side head and properly tensioned snare wires. With that said, the snare side head is tight and pretty close to the glass. The snare wires have an appropriate amount of tension that is not too tight or loose and allows the snare wires to breathe and not sound choked! This process allows the snare drum to have sensitivity and articulation while in this higher tuning. The batter-side tuning is a little more involved. For starters, I equally “finger-tighten” the tension rods as tight as possible until I can’t turn them anymore with the nub of these two Snareweight speedy drum keys. After the figure-tightening, I use quarter turns to add more tension to the drum. This technique provides enough tension on the drum head and ensures you hear the shell and drum head working together. The secret sauce for this process is the drum key technique and drum head choice. The drum key technique allows me to know where I am tension-wise and know how much more I need to go when getting to a desired sound. The Evans G2 coated drumhead features a balanced attack, average sustain, slightly bright tone, and moderate durability.

This particular tuning has started to become a favorite of mine, and I haven’t tried it on this Kelley 14” x 6” Maple Sunrise Snare Drum with an Evans G2! Let’s get into it. This tuning is built on a well-tuned snare side head and properly tensioned snare wires. With that said, the snare side head is tight and pretty close to the glass. The snare wires have an appropriate amount of tension that is not too tight or loose and allows the snare wires to breathe and not sound choked! This process allows the snare drum to have sensitivity and articulation while in this higher tuning. The batter-side tuning is a little more involved. For starters, I equally “finger-tighten” the tension rods as tight as possible until I can’t turn them anymore with the nub of these two Snareweight speedy drum keys. After the figure-tightening, I use quarter turns to add more tension to the drum. This technique provides enough tension on the drum head and ensures you hear the shell and drum head working together. The secret sauce for this process is the drum key technique and drum head choice. The drum key technique allows me to know where I am tension-wise and know how much more I need to go when getting to a desired sound. The Evans G2 coated drumhead features a balanced attack, average sustain, slightly bright tone, and moderate durability.

When it comes to bringing to light techniques on how we tune our drums and approach drum tuning, not many have made as big of an impact on this topic as Mr. Bob Gatzen. Some techniques he brought to light are explained in the context of tuning a drum through this video. The concept he refers to in this video is the drum key technique, the opposite lug, using a musical note as a starting point when tuning. The drum key technique brings to light the feel of the drum key in your hands, the increasing tension of the rods, and your awareness of how many turns are given to each tension rod. The opposite rod technique reminds you that when you are not changing the pitch of the tension point in front of you, the fix might be the opposite tension point. Lastly, using a musical not like Bob does in this video helps you have a starting point. This provides a home base to help you make it easier to know where to start when tuning your drums. Remember, just like any other technique, these require you to TAKE ACTION and initiative in learning it. It’s not enough to watch this video and check it off the watch column. You have to GO and put it into practice! Five minutes a day can go a long way, so what are you waiting for; get going! What do you guys think? Have you ever given these techniques any thought? Have you ever watched Bob’s tuning videos before? Leave a comment. Let’s talk about it! Love you guys!! Okay.

I have been an Eagles fan for a long time and to be able to see them go to three different Super bowls in my life time has been amazing! Today they play another big game where they go against one of the best organizations in football over the past 7 years with the Kansas Coty Chiefs. I’m optimistic and yet nervous all at the same time! It really is anyone’s game! I would love to hear from you guys. Are you watching the game? If so, do you have a team you think is going to win?

From what I have seen, this is the most heated conversation I have heard between drummers. Because this conversation is about keeping time there are different schools of thought behind this. On one side believes that the drummer should be the sole reason why the band stays in time. This is good because the drummer does set the tempo but bad because a drummer could start a song to face or according to the setting a bandmate could not want to keep time with the drummer and then there are arguments about what the tempo is. On the other hand, the camp that likes to use a click track still puts the responsibility of time on the drummer but now the whole band can hear the click and has no question about the tempo. This allows for no excuses when it comes to keeping time because for a band to sound tight and together, ALL bandmates have to keep time. Not just the drummer! Now there are plenty of times that a group of musicians are so locked in that they don't NEED a click but that is not everyone. Learning how to do that takes time and patience to develop that skill. In the end, I think it's important to be able to play with and without a click track. Both skills are needed as a drummer and no matter one skill should be more glorified than another. I would love to hear from you guys. Does playing drums with a click make you a better or worse musician? No matter what you pick I would love to know either way. Let’s talk about it in the comments.

When it comes to maintaining, tuning, and changing out drumheads on your drums the tools we use don't always have to be for drums. Most of the time when changing out drums heads on bass drums with T-rods we do it with our hands and it takes forever!! I'm not talking about tuning up the drum head but simply getting the T-Rods on and off the drum. This simple drum hack I learned from my buddy over at @drums_for_sale, makes getting T-Rods off and on quickly and easily. Instead of using your heads to take the T-Rod on and off, snag the @musicnomad GRIP Bit - Peg Winder Attachment. This particular drill bit is used for tuning pegs on electric and acoustic guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, and orchestral strings. It fits a variety of sized tuning pegs and perfect slips over T-Rods on bass drums without any issues. This makes the drum head changing process go so much smoother and quicker. Allowing us to get back to what we want to do and that's make music and play drums. What do you guys think? Do you Have T-Rods on your bass drum? Have you ever thought to loosen or tighten your t-rods like this? Leave a comment. Let’s talk about it! Stay creative, and have a great rest of the week. Love you, guys!! Okay.

Since 1956, @Evans Drumheads been pushing the envelope to what is possible with the drum heads we put on our drums. There is not a moment where they are not looking into how to improve our ability to chapel the sound of our drums to best fit the situation we find ourselves in. The Evans Heavyweight drum head offers that and so much more. Although this drumhead is this thick, it still delivers the versatility, sensitivity, and durability you want in a drumhead. It's my personal favorite! I know, I know, less talking and more specs and features. Let’s get into it! Evans 14” Heavyweight Snare Drumhead (pulled from @D’Addario website): “EVANS Heavyweight coated snare batters provide superior durability and a compressed attack, plus a wide dynamic range. Made using two plies of 10 mil film, Heavyweight coated snare heads are incredibly durable, with even more durability, focus, and attack in the center of the head, thanks to the 3mil reverse dot. * EVANS Heavyweight snare heads are made with two plies of 10mil film, plus a 3mil Reverse dot in the center of the head for even more durability, focus, and attack. * Heavyweights have a nicely defined attack, short sustain, and semi-bright tonal character. * This coated head is excellent for heavy hitters in the rock and metal genre. * All EVANS drumheads feature Level 360 Technology to provide ease of tuning, extended pitch range, and optimum quality of sound. * All EVANS drumheads are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA.

This particular tuning has become a favorite of mine. Although, I haven’t tried it with the G2 Coated on the Honest Abe Odom 6 Heavy Steel 14” x 6” Snare Drum. Let’s get it. This tuning is built on a well-tuned snare side head and properly tensioned snare wires. With that said, the snare side head is tight but has some give to it. The snare wires have an appropriate amount of tension that is not too tight or loose and allows the snare wires to breathe and not sound choked! This process allows the snare drum to have sensitivity and articulation while in this higher tuning. The batter-side tuning is a little more involved. For starters, I equally “finger-tighten” the tension rods as tight as possible until I can’t turn them anymore with the nub of these two @Snareweight speedy drum keys. After the figure-tightening, I use quarter turns to add more tension to the drum. This technique provides enough tension on the drum head and ensures you hear the shell and drum head working together. The secret sauce for this process is the drum key technique and drum head choice. The drum key technique allows me to know where I am tension-wise and know how much more I need to go when getting to a desired tension. The @Evans Drumheads G2 coated drumhead allows for a balanced attack, average sustain, slightly bright tone, and moderate durability. This 14” x 6” heavy steel snare drum tensions up fast, so having drum key technique and knowing your drum head is essential for me not to over-crank the drum that would cause it to choke.

When it comes to bringing to light techniques on how we tune our drums and approach drum tuning, not many have made as big of an impact on this topic as Mr. Bob Gatzen. One of these techniques he brought to light is developing the drum key technique. This highly overlooked technique brings to light the feel of the drum key in your hands, the increasing tension of the rods, and your awareness of how many turns are given to each tension rod. With this in mind, a drum key turns into more than just a piece of hardware we tend to misplace. It turns into a tool that we should take time choosing to find the right fit in our hands, just like we do when looking for the perfect pair of sticks. And when we do we should put it to use in perfecting our tuning ability just like we do when we practice rudiments on a practice pad.
