How To Tune Your Drums with Gregg Bissonette

[TheeMotivator]

HOW TO TUNE DRUMS???????????????? I kept waiting for the instructions on "HOW TO TUNE DRUMS" Where is the information? I still don't know how to tune my drums from watching this video. That was weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very entertaining personality, but absolutely no instructions on drum tuning.

[wedontknowone1]

@cokezzzftw he ment Toto, the dog

[DrumChannelOfficial]

Hi, yes, licensing issues make it so that we cannot offer this lesson free any longer. Thanks.

[killjoyshidae1208]

@DrumChannelOfficial it's not part of the free lessons anymore

[233kid2]

Greg's a SUPER guy and one of the few people out there that can play MANY styles correctly (Big Band, Metal, Latin, etc)

[matiasasconeguy]

I really wanted to tune it, but I could not deal with his voice.

[TheDirtymexican0]

all i learned was that hes afraid of the monkeys on wizard of oz..... -_-

[FuckinMetal3694]

Metallica-Frayed Ends Of Sanity

[mikesweet69]

[prognosis2112]

[GuitarRock6]

@prognosis2112 And with the 6, he does the snake :D

[Flippergob]

[BrothersCinco]

wtf

[bennyboy273yeah]

BOOOOOOOM

[dansive]

his voice is weird

[SurfCityOceanPier]

ok........... where do we start tune?

[stylerprofyler]

@SurfCityOceanPier Tuning's the easy part about tuning. true story.

[ctdjazz]

@Lexness Not necessarily. He's just THAT off the wall. Great guy and great player though.

[dwsnare]

Im 48 and have never watched the wizard of Oz - even though i live in Oz ; ) .

Now i know that toto is a stolen dog and not just a mega band of the 80' and 90', im not gunna watch wizard ........ sounds dark, lol.

Oh btw, didn't learn to much off that guy, only that you can mute the bottom head, tap on th top head, and place a pillow in my kick drum. hmmmm.

[boobmonter64]

that never helped fuck all

[RockHardTeam]

" Could be a little Wizard of Oz too, OOH EEH OOOH "

[whoah1988]

Who the fuck is that drummer with that drumkit the size of his house? What a total moron

[armedwithturtles]

@whoah1988 you don't know terry bozzio?

[spercoco]

@whoah1988 That "total moron" is one of the best drummers alive. If he's a total moron what does that make you if you're a drummer that's never heard of him. I suppose the drumer from the White Stipes is your hero.

[DeviousMarmot]

i was scared when the monkeys took todo...

[JazzyJonas]

"Weed makes you lazy and unmotivated." Yeah, right.  Tell that to Captain Awesome over here!

[Gstargeorge]

what drum kit is that, and what finish? someone please. thanks :)

[AldridgeHalenFreak]

AAHhhh where is the lesson on Tuning...

Mute the bottom head,Tap the shell... finger the middle of the top head?

Gotch ya ;p)

[dontobeay]

@AldridgeHalenFreak Don't forget "Wizard of Oz"

[patriots12]

this video is hilarious

[Ullprutt]

Gregg is a beautiful musician, and the Wizard of Oz reference just cracks me up.

[SAHBfan]

Greg Bisonette is an awesome player - unbelievably versatile. Check out some of his other stuff on youtube, you can find him playing big band jazz and heavy metal...

[samg789]

yea uh no he is not a pot head... YOU, however, must be a pothead to even think he is... type in greg bissonette testimony and listen.. thanks goodbye assholes.

[danielinsporto]

@samg789 are you serious? this guy sounds pretty high, regardless of whether he actually is. and just because Greg loves jesus does not necessarily mean he's opposed to marijuana.

seriously, who's the asshole here, the good-humored people making a reasonable assumption from Greg's silly, cheery attitude, or you, the accusatory self righteous religious bigot?

[fhdjdhfhd]

This guy sounds just like the guy who played the Ting in the Fantastic 4 movie X))

[cokezzzftw]

"Could be a little Wizard of Oz too. Woah, wee! Oh.... Aaaaaaaaaaaah. I was always scared when those monkeys took total away." WHAT THE FUCK?

[detulid]

@cokezzzftw AHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA

[SuperMefisto6666]

I think i missed the lesson..?

[drummaryan]

Haha he looks high!!!

[mWiznuk]

Did I learn anything? Nope

[soicanspeak]

what lesson? LOL WTF!

?

[drumlord420]

@Lexness Like a fucking satellite

[KiodFox]

I purposely leave my drums detuned. and that taught me nothing as to how/why to tune or how to know when I'm in tune. mind you, I already knew that, I just like my tight skinned uglies.

[residentdrummerpete]

winnie the pooh!

[Slick31601]

Lmao he sounds like the old guy off Family Guy, but great Vid!

[enyeny7077]

thank you for the vid sir 

[DouglasDArko]

@Lexness the hippie shirt adds to that conclusion.

[haydudefity]

@Lexness Yeah, high on life.

[zajebach]

What snare is that?

...love the sound! :)

[Farksisten]

When he said "tap the shell of the drum", I thought he was going to say "tap the shit out of the drum"! xD

[irokskinez]

Wow that taught me nothing. I already know what he was talking about. I'm trying to get the pitches right. Not trying to learn how to put the Tom on my knee.

[Hoogleish]

"A little pellow"

[KingsofComedy]

This video didnt help at all. ugh

[kevinlee1759]

his voice is awkward no offence

[bareftjacky]

@kevinlee1759 may have something to do with the peace symbol on his shirt and the activities he..partook...in during the 70's hah

[sketchbager]

toms sounds pretty bad.

[MrLarrsson]

Hahaha Metallica's song 1:05 - 1:07

[zackattack94]

@MrLarrsson i dont get it

[ChasingFlies]

metallica @ 1:05-1:07 haha

[Wiru77]

@ChasingFlies what song?

[xxTDWPxD00dxx]

he also has a proffesional mic set on his kit which would make it sound better seeing as its run through an equalizer of some sort

[uriangatobataclan]

I don't muffle my bass drum anymore... Well I do, but I don't use any pillows or such things, I just put some tape and small threads of come soft fabric I find anywhere on the inner side of the heads and that's it... it works pretty well... it allows resonate the drum but it kills all overtones...

[AndyHenryUK]

Gregg is a fantastic guy - very funny, very friendly and amazingly talented.

[GaaraXItachi]

OK?

[nirattar1]

this shortened version is an insult to the full video. should be put off youtbute.

[Typhoon610]

[giosmrbig]
