Hi all. So it's been about a year since I bought my acoustic drums. I STILL can not tune them worth s--t! I just can't get it. But then again I just don't get how it works either. What I mean is lets say you test the sounds on two lugs beside each other. Say the left on is perfect and right one is low. So you bring the right one up a bit. Well this inherently will raise the left one too by being in close proximity to it. So then you lower the left one back to the right note but then that inherently lowers the right one. Usually what happens in the end is I end up with a tom that is 4 notes higher than I want it. This is just turning me right off of these drums. It's too bad too cause I paid about 5K for them. So I find myself going back to my TD20's where it always sounds just right.
I have tried all the tutuorials that I can find out there. Bob's at Evans included. Generally they are all about the same and nothing is working. I have checked the rims, replaced the heads, and everything seems good. I am frustrated!
