how to tune
how to get the sound of some one else's snare
"i want my toms to sound like this"
so i'm just throwing this out there
this isn't suppose to be mean or directed to anybody
it's for everyone
here's a link to the infamous "tuning bible"
http://home.earthlink.net/~prof.sound/
everything you ever need to know about tuning your drums
it goes through every drum
the best way to do it
and different tips for different sounds
and one other thing that people over look
when you get new heads
you need to "crack" the glue along the edge of the head
to do so push along the edge with your thumbs
and kind of rotate the head in your hands while pressing down
you'll hear it kind of pop
once that's down and you've set the head on the drum
tension the lugs finger tight
and the tune up till you get
the sound you kind of want
don't fine tune yet
wait a day or two so that the head has time to stretch and set to the drum
if you fine tune right when you put the heads on
you're going to sit down the next time you're drumming
and your drums are going to sound horrible
so do yourself a favor and wait a couple days so your heads have time to adjust
that is it i hope this helps a little bit
