Hello, everyone. This is primarily for double bass kit players, but anyone with experience or knowledge, please, by all means, lend a hand. Ive been tweaking the tuning on my Yamaha Stage Custom double bass kit since I got it about 2 months ago, roughly. I got some advice from a couple of guys that I hang out with who play double bass kits, but Im getting conflicting advice. One guy says both basses need to be tuned identically. The other one says one bass needs to be a half step higher than the other for distinguishing purposes. Im leaning towards the half step higher, just for that reason...the distinguishing purpose. Oh, in case you were wondering, the guys I talked to play Trick drums with 20x20" *triggered* basses(same tuning) and Pearl ELX with 22x18" basses(1/2 step tuning). I dont know if that matters or not.
