Would you recommend this for tuning Tama drums? I understand the ear is your best friend when tuning ,but to get your exact tension measurement I thought it would be cool .I'm just not sure

I've been playing for a few years, by no means an expert, but I've been very happy with the Drum Dial. It helps me get to the right tone and sustain (for me this is tricker to get where I want) faster, and more consistently each time I tune.

Yes, I'd definitely recommend it. I'm no expert, but I feel like the Drum Dial really helps to keep the measurements exactly where I want them each time. I'm happy with it. I think you should give it a try, I'm sure you'll like it too.

i don't think you tuned it properly... do not apply too much tension, especially when tuning new strings. after all the stock strings are not good so get a set of good strings and start playing!

Regular tuning in c is ok, neck is strong. Less stress con be achieved by tuning an octave lower and then use a capo( This is recommended for older instruments)

I don't know the specific frequency but you don't need instructions or expertise to use tuning forks. You simply give it a gentle tap with a tuning fork hammer, if you have one. Really, anything will do to produce the vibrations but be aware that tapping it with a metal object will cause small dents. You can even slap your palm with it but the tone will be gentler. A harder object will produce a shaper sound. You then hold the fork over the chakra for which it is intended. The Om will be for the crown chakra, so hold it right above the center of the head. Once you have worked with it enough, you will begin to notice small variations in the way that it vibrates. This will indicate to you when you have it in precisely the right spot & also the vibration will change once thee chakra is balanced. You can also use the tinge for space clearing or crystal re-tuning. You can also just listen to the tinge to produce a calming, meditative state. There is no wrong usage. Enjoy!

I would suggest that you can get a small headphone amp which would allow you to adjust the volume on your headphone and also has enough plug ins for friends if the want to get into the jam with you!! Our drummer loves these headphones!!

I use it for trombone. Clipped to the bell. It won't tune anything lower than the F below the staff on bass clef.

Truly, it is a matter of taste. I use it on cello, banjo, and mandolin. They all sound fantastic. I tried a clip on condenser - too much feedback. This was a great middle ground between a condenser and an actual pickup. It also depends on the context you play in. If you play with live acoustic drums, get this - no feedback issues. Also, keep in mind that a good external preamp will work wonders. The 411 itself sounds a bit unnatural, but a good external preamp will fix that and allow you to shape the sound to taste and in context. That being said, a phantom power supply and an external preamp aren't cheap. External gear can be as critical as the source, though. Truly, it is a matter of taste.

I have friends that own the other buffalo drums and always admired how they did not get loose in humid weather, but when i heard this drum, I was sold. I have only had it for 6 months, but I do not think it does require any tuning. it is solid and made with two synthetic heads instead of one to give it deep boom base.

You should be able to use any standard bass drum pedal you like. The kick pad feels pretty good to play on but you're not going to experience the kind of rebound you would with a tensioned drumhead. Felt beaters are OK but I prefer to use a smooth plastic beater. I'd also recommend an adhesive bass drum patch.

I'm not sure what you are asking? The OHM tuning fork is used to balance the body. I use this tuning fork around my head n ears to help with headaches n I also use it the length of my body to balance my whole system. It is a beautiful tone which is very comforting.

HelloSorry late response, it won't give the same sound. It's a real nice drum. Hope it helps

They aren't really tuned but they do make sound. No you cant tune the drum/tambourine it comes as is. The cymbals sound like two pots hitting together but for little ears you really don't need it to be the loud sound of real ones. My kids love the Bells (me not so much anymore) :)

Hey Chip, as long as you know what notes you want to tune to it shouldn't be a problem. The tuner uses the vibration through the instrument to tell you what your tuning is.

Yes, it should not be any different than tuning a regular drum kit. I would use the same setting for snare and tenor to keep them in tune with each other.

No latency at all, perfect for practice, but it would be tough to use in a live situation I think because I find I have to adjust the gain knob on the unit as I use different patches. Dealing with a volume on the guitar, on the irig, the iphone, and on the amp...it just gets crazy trying to dial in a tone that doesn't clip or sound weak.

I agree with this earlier response : The drum head is stationary and requires no further tuning. Presumably you're aware that the shell of the drum must be unrestricted (other than the ropes) in order to resonate the vibration of the drum head which is synthetic and is not affected by temp/ humidity changes. IN OTHER WORDS YOU MUST HOLD THE DRUM BY THE ROPES WHEN PLAYING IT. LAYING THE DRUM FLAT ON A SURFACE SUCH AS THE FLOOR OR TABLE THEN BEATING ON IT WILL PRO DUCE THE SOUND YOU DESCRIBED.
