My approach is to tune and leave alone. If a drum sounds “off” I’ll investigate and resolve but I’m not a compulsive tuner. I can get a drum sounding good, and get my drums sounding good relative to each other, but I don’t feel like I have a “method”, other than to tune top and bottom to the same note, with a pleasing interval between each.
Part of me – no idea which part – thinks that if I were able to objectively measure what I’m doing, I’d be able to get my drums sounding even better, and would be more consistent in my approach. What has your motivation been in getting (or not getting) a drum tuner? Have you got your drums sounding better?
If there is another tool that does the same job that you use in preference, clue me up on that too.
Disclaimer: Yes I play Mapex Saturns, but it seems that even they require tuning. I know, I couldn't believe it either.
