[TheDrHopeless]

what sort of sentence is 'you can just, you know go next one, to the next one just depending on what you need erm...'? what the flamin fuck is this expert on about?! and whats with the Vater AND Vic Firth logos???

What he really means is get ur stupid drums and play around with them. And tuning really has to do with what styles are u playing. I'm church drummer so we play jazz, country, Rock,r&b,gospel, and Latin so I have a big kit two small toms tuned high two very low toms and one Tom in the middle of those two snares a high one and low one. Two rides and that covers everything

how can he play drums for 7 years, yet someone whos played for only about 3 or 4 knows about 3 times as much?

@mcohane9 He means in order it doesnt matter, Obviously the tuning of the drum matters, when he said it he was talking about the order in which to tune the screws.... But good job on being a douche bag.

[TheBabyball]

you should really put the head on.. push down on it... get out the wrickles, then alittle tunning... it'll be lowest possible pitch...... and ditch the pillows, and blackets,

power stroke pro, and a emad resonant will do ya good.

Lovin the Evans sticker on the REMO head... ! You really ought to learn how to tune before trying to tell anyone else how to do it!!
