Tune-Bot Tuning Wizard
Tell it your kit and the sound you're after, and it gives you target notes and lug frequencies for every drum, then walks you through tuning each head with your Tune-Bot.
Tips for using it with your Tune-Bot
- Tap lightly and consistently. Use the same stick, the same spot (about 1″ in from the lug) and the same light stroke every time.
- Mute the head you’re not tuning. A hand resting on the other head, or the drum sitting on a towel, keeps the readings clean.
- Use Filter once you’re close. After you get a reading near the target, press Filter so the Tune-Bot ignores overtones. Reset it before checking the drum’s center pitch or moving to another drum.
- New heads stretch. Re-check a fresh set of heads after a day of playing.
