Alright, I'm a huge fan of the band Dokken, and their three big albums from the 1980's (Tooth and Nail- 1984, Under Lock and Key- 1985, and Back For The Attack- 1987), and I want to save up and eventually purchase a vintage 80's drum set just to have as a home studio set or something, but until I have the money, I was curious as to how one would go about tuning their drums to get an 80s-ish kind of sound, especially the snare...
My father has a wooden 10-lug (6.5 x 14) Tama Superstar snare that I can use for now, but how would I tune it to get a deep sound similar to Dokken (and yes I understand that there were many effects applied in studio, and different heads affect the sound), and also how do you tune the toms and bass drum (Currently have a Yamaha Rydeen). I've been playing for about three years now, so I can't tune great yet... anyways, I'm all for experimenting, but I'm not sure where to start so I was hoping I could get some tips for tuning for that style from anyone here that played back then...
One more thing, can anyone recommend an 80's drum set I should look into? I'm a Tama and Yamaha fan...
Thanks in advance.
