Never tried of the cotton ball trick for floors so appreciate the head's up on that. I like the floor tuning loose as well. Kit sounds phenomenal dude!
This has nothing to do with this type of video but I just wanted to say that a cover of demolisher by slaughter to prevail would be absolutely amazing!
Same here. I bought a tune-bot, changed the heads, tried all kinds of tunings. I hated the sound of my toms. I eventually just upgraded my electric kit to one that's more professional and found that I hated the toms on there too. I'm starting to realize I just don't like how raw, unprocessed toms sound. I like 'em compressed, with reverb, lots of presence. That old Def Leppard sound. I never realized how hard it was to get a good sound out of a drum set, or how much processing goes into the final product.
@@bodhiroot I got a tune bot and a drum dial. Basically same story as you. I'm starting to believe you're right. I just don't like raw tom sounds. My snare and bass drums are decent. I'm going to try one more thing. I'm going to let Kenny sharretts have a go with my kit and then if that don't work I guess I'm just going to have to learn to live with it.
so i am new to drumming and i followed trhough pretty well but i have a few questions so when you do the snare and the toms do you leave the bottom heads finger tight and than tighten the top head to the pitch you want it? or do you do both sides?
@@FernandoLemusDrums fair, I’m looking to maybe switch to remo lol. The venues I play in are quite small (weddings, parties etc) and noise is an issue, especially the snare. I use evans hydralic snare batter atm, What remo equivalent would you recommend?
@@cDisturbed. the direct would be the colortone series. But I personally like the standard coated Emperor and Powerstroke 3. The ps3 is great as is, but the emperor is open and responsive so could use dampening if thats not your vibe. Great heads all around tho! I stand by both and have played them on tour for years so can attest to their use in all venue sizes.
I also do a cotton ball or 2 in my floor toms (even tho I use Evans Reso 7 coated as reso heads). But floor toms I tune just above wrinkle on top & bottom. *On the 10" & 12" rack toms, how much higher should I tune the reso than the batter?* Curious. *I like dry & punchy.* You do a turn or 2 on the batter, so do you do 3 turns on reso? My 2nd kit's new, so I'm learning it. (I thought for metal, some tune their reso heads on rack toms lower than the batter).
For me personally, I find 2-3 turns totally fine on reso, batter is personal preference. It depends more on the drum and desired pitch more than anything, but experiment and see what you like! No right or wrong, drums are a vibe
@@FernandoLemusDrums - indeed. I'm learning now that this new Tama is *MUCH* different than tuning my 1986 Ludwig that I've had for many a-year - decades, even. Easier to tune, but I just haven't found that sweet spot yet. I've had this new kit a few weeks, & I'm *still* learning it -- the feel, tuning, the setup -- all of it.
Why drummer says the muffler what was coming with the snares or toms its a wrong piece but now they put any all of stuff again like moongels or towels hahahaha
Please keep doing these. They are so helpful for me since I'm just starting out. Keep up the good work man.

Thanks for the video Fernando! I don't yet have a drum kit as I used to over a decade ago. Soon though hopefully.
You know you're lucky when Fern uploads a video.
This has nothing to do with this type of video but I just wanted to say that a cover of demolisher by slaughter to prevail would be absolutely amazing!
The king is back yeaaaaa
Sounds amazing man Thanks for the tips!
Kick drum though...
Great tutorial video. This is really helpful! :)
great video bro!
Great video thanks man . Do yoi have one with the bass drum tuning reso and kickside?
Finger tight on reso, maybe 1-2 full turns past finger tight for batter side!
It's really informative, thanks a lot 👍👍👍
PLEASE BRING ME THE HORIZON - KINGSLAYER🤘

I've been trying to tune my drums for 3 months now man. It's driving me crazy...

Been meaning to update this video. I tune both after finger tight, but the reso heads are usually higher than the batter.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do you recommend evans heads ?
I personally don’t, I just like the way Remo heads play and sound, especially on recordings.

Do you have higher reso heads or top and bottom same? Do you know the frequency of the lugs??
Reso higher than batter. No idea on frequency, I just tune them by ear
Thank you.! They sound great!@@FernandoLemusDrums
