Man this was spot on! I’ve always play electronic sets, and I just got my first one with no idea how to tune, but now my set is literally singing!

In the words of Rob Beatdown Brown-"Don't overthink it."

Been using this technique for 17yrs. The only way I tune. After this I will then listen for edge pitch and match the pitch all the way around.

Drums are musical instruments if you are going to learn to play learn to tune them so massive thank you for putting this out

There really is no right or wrong way to tune drums The main thing is not to have any wonky ring That’s why I laugh when all the YouTube drummers say tune it my way Tune them till they sound right for you

Yes, it’s the basic method that Rob Brown advocates. But so what? Someone who has never seen a Rob Brown video will have this show up in their feed and it could be helpful.

This is how I start with mine, then I fine tune to pitch using the iDrumTunePro app. But after starting out with this method, the fine tuning doesn’t take much.

Kudos on the Ultramarine Armory kit. Looks & sounds great!

The only thing I would add, is the final step for me is to lightly touch the head exactly in the centre with just one fingertip. Tap lightly with a stick around the perimeter at each lug. This is a drummer’s version of using harmonics, just like tuning a guitar, and gives the ear just a bit more information. Then you simply fine adjust until the “wows” are gone.

After watching for 2 minutes I knew exactly where you got this technique from . Rob Beatfdown Brown’s drum Channel !

Note:  these mapex armoury kits are super boss!! ❤ i got one and it sounds amazing with stock heads and not even tuned up all that much.

I watched your video and have to tell you that we change and tune surprisingly similar. One thing you could have added is the advantage of when pushing on the center of the head while putting on the new/different heads,  also makes sure the head is seated properly on the shell.

Dude this video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND SIMPLE! Much appreciated!

Rob Beatdown Brown demonstrated this exact technique on his channel quite a while back. Good tip.

That's the best way I've seen for drum tuning after 40 years of playing drums. Just goes to show. We never stop learning.. thanks a lot. Rob J

Thanks man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive been watching drum tuning videos all night, specifically the bass drum. so many muffles and expensive gear and still throw in a couple of towels to dampen. i like to keep the original sound of the drums without all the extras. good work man subscribed

Best way to tune toms!

I've been drumming since I was a kid always tuned by ear I never heard of the dude everyone else is talking about but I always find a little paper towel with some tape on the top of Tom's and snare really help the sound but I tighten everything finger tight then I go slowly tension em up hitting them til I get sound I want I fuck around with them a lot tightening and loosening them til I get em just right resonate head no muffle just try to match the pitch I like on each one before I muffle my batter side

This method is almost the exact same method that Mike Portnoy used on the old tama instructional video that used to come with the Tama rockstar kits 👌👌👌

Sweeping generalisation: drummers as a species are the most fun to be around

this is something i’m gonna have to try
