I was just watching this and looking into your channel, and I noticed that you had a dynasty feature at Minnesota percussion association. I recently bought a set of blue sparkle fade quads from dynasty that had been “lightly used” they said at a show In Minnesota. So I guess I know own a set that you’ve “broken-in”
Great tutorial!!! My son is getting into quads and we want to get our fluidity when rolling like you did at spot (5:54). Is that a 6 stroke roll, diddle??? Can you break down the roll? Thanks
This is a good tuning option that you guys should use. Higher Spock: A Lower Spock: E above one octave from Drum 4. Drum 1: B Drum 2: A flat Drum 3: G flat Drum 4: E I like tuning the drums like the song with the notes of "Mary had a little lamb". I experimented with different keys of Mary had a little lamb and found that I like this a lot. Imma reply to this comment with another set of tuning you can use for your drums if it can take the tension.
Second tenor drum tuning option. (For this one, you can decide what note to tune your spocks, I'm just doing 1-4. Drum 1: E Drum 2: C# Drum 3: B Drum 4: A Like I said in my first comment, I like tuning tenors with the notes of Mary had a little lamb but in different keys.
Ian Parmley in my opinion it’s based on what sound u are trying to achieve. So if your playing is based upon triplets and singles at high speeds, then a lower sound would give you a more afro Caribbean sound (doesn’t apply to pop drums) or if your like me and used a lot of flams, diddles and rim shots then tuning the drums low would make everything u play sound muddy and indistinguishable from the tonal bases, or traditional tenor drums if you march show style. Then tuning them high makes what you play sound more distinct and timbale like. The notes he tuned to in the video is great for any style and setting of playing but again... it can very. Jeez I wrote a lot hope I helped😂
Bets tenor tuning video I found so far. Clear and to the point. I have a question for you though... how the hell am I supposed to transport those babies from point A (my houe for instance) to point B (rehearsal or gig) ? Is there bag / suitcase available? Thank you very much for the inspiring videos.
@@christianstainazfischer Great advice. Now I see why percussionists majoring in music had to learn piano in college. It makes sense now. Helps tremendously when tuning drums and writing music. Until someone showed me how to tune the drumset I play at church to notes, I was always tuning to notes in my head which I had no idea what they were.
Interesting that you tune the same day you put on new heads. I've always been told to leave them half tightened for a day before cranking them up the rest of the way.
I’m a newbie and wanted to tune by freq. Do you know the frequency’s of the piano notes you use in the video? Probably a silly question but is the drum 4 a F2# or F3#? F2# sounds way to low but I’m afraid F3# will make the other drums too high. Does this make any sense?
They're considerably higher than the traditional 5-piece ones, but you could probably use 1 through 3 on a kit as range extensions before the high tom, kinda like how some people rock roto toms to the left of their hi-hat. The real trick is finding the right mounts for them.
Uh... what do you do if you just changed the heads and you skipped several steps? Should I take off the drum heads and do it again? EDIT: as in, i didn’t clean the rims or shells like you did... or stretched out the heads
What if we don’t have full sized tenors? My school uses dynasty tenors with the following drum sizes? One Spock: 6 inch Drum 1: 8 inch Drum 2: 10 inch Drum 3: 12 inch Drum 4: 13 inch
Can someone please explain to me why when I put on new tenor heads, they get this really weird rainbow color on them? And then when you press down on the head it’s like it bubbles out?
Any moisture on or in your drum at all? That would cause the rainbow look, and it would definitely make it bubble. If you cleaned your heads like he did in the video, either dry them off, or wait for them to dry manually.

aye that's badass!

those scrapes are 32nd note rolls (RR LL) throughout. Hope that helps, look out for more tutorials soon!
@INFINITE REPTILES 🦎🦎🐍🐍🐢🐢🐊🐊 lol
This is a good tuning option that you guys should use.
Higher Spock: A
Lower Spock: E above one octave from Drum 4.
Drum 1: B
Drum 2: A flat
Drum 3: G flat
Drum 4: E

I tune my uni's drums to E A C# E A (lowest to highest of those sizes)

There should be a case to put them in
They should be have came with a case that looks like a rounded trapezoid
I struggled hearing the notes in the drums until I slowed this video down. Thanks!
do one for a full 8-10 man snare line please... how would i tune each snare to get a full melodic sound
Is the drumhead position is also applicable for smaller size tenor. Like 6", 8", 10", 12" and 13"?
Was wondering the same mines that size
How can you train your ear to hear different pitches without using a reference pitch like a piano, your vids are dope bro!
Angel Izaguirre sit by a keyboard instrument and spend a lot of time listening to intervals
Sure will, thank you!
I spent time studying ear training. utilizing a piano, so that now my relative pitch has improved

This is really helpful, thank you so much :)
glad to hear it :)
What quads are these? Great video by the way!
EmperorOfGaming they look like Mapex quantum tenors
I owe you everything! Thanks man!
Interesting that you tune the same day you put on new heads. I've always been told to leave them half tightened for a day before cranking them up the rest of the way.
It really doesn't matter. Most people just tune right after they slap on some new heads.
Can you make a video about how to do the star pattern thing??
Question. My tenors have two 6" drums, and then goes from 8" to 13" on a 6 pack. How would you would you tune the double 6"?
This is beyond helpful considering im a highschool quint player. Thanks alot!!
Any tuning ideas for a trio?
Probably just the same but only the bottom three drums
@@lil_redspun yh thts wat i did.. they sounded great!
@@ItsAJoke242 awesome
What brand of tenor you use?
Andre Orlino I think he uses mapex
Hello im a beginner, why does my white tinted quad drums don’t sound good as the clear head drums please?
My name is amir too
How long did u march dci/wgi??

lit
thanks!
Can i use these drums as a tom for drumset?

@@tacticallydelicious Thankyou very much sir.
What key are you in
Would the tuning be the same for a five drum tenor ?
Depends on what size drums you have
Uh... what do you do if you just changed the heads and you skipped several steps? Should I take off the drum heads and do it again?
EDIT: as in, i didn’t clean the rims or shells like you did... or stretched out the heads
You should def clean everything out each time you change the heads. And stretching them before tuning them down to where you want is a good idea
Where do you buy the skin?
Steve Weiss is good.
Hi!
How much do you get paid for these videos??
Anybody have the app virtuoso on adroid?
What if we don’t have full sized tenors? My school uses dynasty tenors with the following drum sizes?

BuzzZKill ok thank you!
Sounds like a Remo Pinstripe..
It's probably a thin layer of oil in between a 2-ply head, nothing to be concerned about
