Drum Tuning - High Speed

I videotaped a friend tuning a floor tom and a kick drum. I was going for a specific pitch for each head, so I used an external sound source to provide a tuning pitch. Fun to watch.

i gotta ask, how is this video helpful in any way? it teaches absolutely nothing about tuning, its annoying as fuck, its just a minute and a half piece of shit that u spent no time on making. if ur gonna make a drum tuning video, how about make one that people can actually watch without wanting to stab themselves in the ear to get that high pitched whine out of their head.

@strokesdick: center hoop before tensioning,primary tension by pressing in the head's center and eliminating wrinkles('a la Dave Weckl),check for even tone at each lug,"consecutive lug" tensioning('a la Bob Gatzen) vs. "star pattern" tensioning,ease the tension up and down with small key turns to avoid prematurely ruining the head,seat the head by applying even pressure to the head,match the fundamental pitch of the head to an external sound source. Upload a video to your account, jokesday!

@strokesday The video isnt meant to teach you anything. it plainly says "Drum Tuning, High Speed." Thats it. Thats what it was.

@7bandzatatime wow jokesday and strokesdick. ur fucking hilarious. did u spend all night thinking of those clever jokes at my username. look, whether you give me these instructions or not, its way better to see it in a video, and in person. but the only thing i can see in this video is u tuning a bass drum head in fast motion. which is absolutely retarded and useless for viewers. me make a video on my account? why? just cause ur too lazy to make a good one? no thanks.
