Bass Drum Tuning Demo

Video Transcript

"Now for the actual tuning of the bass drum. We're going to go in here, you're going to start, pretty much you can use the same method of cross, I call it cross-referencing, where you just do one side, one side: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Or, really, once again, it doesn't really matter on a bass drum, how you tune it. You can just go next one to the next one. Just depending on what you need. Pretty much, I have my head up here set pretty loose, and so these ones, I'm going to want pretty tight. You're going to do the basic thing, you feel when it tightens, when it hits against the rim, and you just do either half turns or quarter turns. This is a half turn right here, and then you've got just quarter turns, like those. So you just do those. Now this is pretty much set, you can - you can just kind of tell that this is a little looser. And really on these, I like to feel, I like to feel the bass drum instead of hear the bass drum. And you can really feel which one is tighter than the other and right now, these are pretty tight. Got these pretty equal up here. Just constantly, switching around, making adjustments and you should be good. Just making sure all these are pretty tight on here."
