bob gatzen's better!....gotta try yet!

[HolyDeth]

Much better than Bob Gatzen. I don't like his "singing" technique. This is much more simpler. Reso side higher than the batter side. But not too much higher, the pitches should be very close.

@SkadetKevin1994 I'm long winded, sorry :p after getting the top in a good range, tune it to itself (each lug). Now the tricky part. The bottom head has the biggest affect on the sound of your drum. Top=pitch, bottom=quality. You do want the bottom head higher. If you wanna get fancy, tune the bottom to a harmony like a third or fifth (that's where knowledge of intervals is important). If you do so, fine tune first for accuracy.  If you want to know more about harmonies, let me know!

@SkadetKevin1994 Tuning is very complicated, and we all learn a way that works for us. But I'll tell you what I know. What this guy did is very basic, he didn't even discuss intervals (pitch difference between the top and bottom head). When you are tuning, you will most likely switch from head to head and do a lot of adjustments to get the right sound. I get the top head in a comfortable range that is combination of what I want, and what pitch the drum wants to be at and will sound good in.
