    North, Vox, Trixon are way cool. Without "Tune Bot" and their calculator, I would be lost tuning a large set...(every 4th drum is tuned to the same note, only a octave higher)

    I just downloaded this exact app but my screen doesn’t show the plus sign to get you to the notes. It only shows the ~ sine symbol. Opening that gives me 4 options: sine, square, sawtooth, triangle. I checked and played with all the settings and none provide that + symbol. Now next to the play button there are - and + buttons but they only increase and lower the the tone. I only see the free version which I got and it has the ads. There is no other upgrade, pro or premium option. Not sure what’s happening there but I was curious to see this app work. It got my curiosity juices flowing.

    I'm biased as I have a Sonor HiLite Exclusive in black with copper hardware but even with this admission, the Sonor sounds a thousand times better than the North. It's great that you've got the North up to speed though. All the best

    @DavidHall-zo8eg 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How do you measure or calculate the sound with the generator? Or does the generator automatically calculate pitch on its own if you the smartphone next to the lugs of your toms and snare?

    • @christhedrummerkimball
      @christhedrummerkimball 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Once you determine what frequency you would like the drum to be, and I would recommend you listen to notes on a piano to get the correct frequency, then you simply set the frequency to that level and hold it next to each lug as you tune the drum so that the tone of tue drum head matches the frequency.

  • @DavidHall-zo8eg
    @DavidHall-zo8eg 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I downloaded the frequency generator app, but I am struggling to operate it right now.

    • @christhedrummerkimball
      @christhedrummerkimball 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It can be a little difficult to adjust because tiny movements make the frequency change quite a bit. But if you use the little plus and minus buttons you can do fine tuning.

      I'm not sure exactly where I got them, but they were generic, heavy duty bass drum spurs.I might have bought online somewhere.

    I’ve never seen them for sale but North used to sell these as marching tenor drums. The Blue Devils marched with them in the 70’s and 80’s.

  • @lukegarcia684
    @lukegarcia684 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The North drums (also similar Staccato drums) are the type of "Concert" type drums meaning they only have a batter head. Phil Collins used to play Gretsch concert drums.

  • @petesmith9688
    @petesmith9688 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Floor Tom’s don’t need O rings! Let them sing. If they don’t sound right the top and bottom heads don’t have the right tension difference between them.

    Sounds good ,but the best concert tom kit is still Phil Collins Gretsch kit on In the air tonight. (imho). But I might be biased having a vintage Gretsch kit with Remo FA Fiberskyn's tuned medium high for jazz. I find you cant tune too high with them or they start to choke. Interesting seeing and hearing the North drums.

    I have a Slingerland Gene Krupa Radio King snare from 1946 or 7 and it has a slightly different cloud badge. I think yours is a little bit older. Definitely 40's era. Edit: I remember people playing North kits when I was a kid and recently saw one for sale at my local used instrument store. Cool looking, but moving those things for gigs would be a huge headache!
