Top 10 Drum Tuning Mistakes | Season Four, Episode 17

We read literally every comment and message we receive across all of our social channels. After 3 1/2 years of producing this series and well over a decade for each of us in helping people with tuning and drum sound, there are some “tuning fails” that come up all that time that seem to slip the minds of many drummers. We’ve compiled our top 10 in this latest episode!
