New Drum Tuning System

[rotekdrums]

Hello,

I am new here and want to share with you my new drum tuning system.



My tuning system is an alternative to the conventional way of tuning drums now and is intended for those who dislike or hate tuning…. mainly the time it takes. Like die cast hoops, my tuning system demands nearly perfect bearing edges for the most precise tuning. People often blame head quality, but perhaps they should look much closer at their bearing edges using the granite slab test. Most of the principles concerning tuning drums like those found in “The drum tuning bible” still apply.

This drum tuning systems will come in either die cast zinc or Aluminum. The drum tuning system in these video’s is made of machined Aluminum and probably the lightest drum you can find.

With that said, here are a few of my newer video’s showing different aspects of this tuning system. The other video’s can be found on youtube using the key word “drum tuning system”.

Batter Head replacement: This video shows how quickly and easily the drum head can be replaced, and basic tuning of the drum.

Batter and Resonant Head tuning: This video shows that both the batter and resonant heads can be tuned without removing the drum from the tom holder.

Cam ring adjustment: This video shows how the patent pending lugs allow for any manufacturers head to be used and how to adjust it and tune the drum. And yes they do tension the head evenly once this adjustment is made. If you pretty much use the same brand/model of head, you will only have to do this once.

Progressive Tuning: This video uses a Tama Tension Watch to show how progressive and sensitive the tuning is.
