Demystifying Tom Tuning in Real-Time

It’s not always pretty to see “how the sausage is made” but we’re committed to demonstrating what it looks like to experiment and play with tuning. This is a form of practice and exploration that can have massive benefits when it comes to understanding cause and effect with making tuning adjustments. These explorations can also help inform you about what a drum and drumhead are capable of doing together. Ultimately, this is one of the most impactful ways to make progress with your tuning skills.
