Tom Tuning Deconstructed

Let’s say you’re looking for the perfect combination of power and dynamics out of your toms. You want full tone, good attack and excellent dynamic range out of the softest rolls to the most aggressive. Your favorite drummers’ kits speak with this kind of authority so you want that for yourself. But you’re not totally sure how each of the parts of the drum contribute to this final sound. Do you need more muffling? Do you need a certain interval between the two heads? Or a specialized batter head to get there? If you’re not sure about any of that this is the video for you.
