@robbiefrancedotcom how do you get your toms to sound like that, what heads do you recommend

[robbiefrancedotcom]

Hi, mate!

Tune the floor tom with as little tension Then go up around the drums tuning them to The Blue Danube waltz

Check the Home Made Video out and notice the doughnut shaped dampener on the floor tom

You can muck around with some pseudo double bassdrum work and engineers will thank you tirelessly!Remo or Evans heads work for me

Good luck!

Love & Respect,

Robbie.

@robbiefrancedotcom Hey man, what do you mean when you say drums should be tuned to the blue danube waltz? i know the piece, but i don't understand what you mean... cheers

[robbiefrancedotcom]

Hi, mate!

Ok. Tune the floor tom to the lowest note which the drum can handle. NOTE...not THUD!

Remember that note. Hum the BD waltz. Starting at the floor tom... go UP the toms and tune each one to those 3 iconic notes which make the BD waltz...Simple.

Let me know how you get on, pal.

Any probs ...email me.

Love & Respect,

Robbie. xx
