So, I've recently started studying music and sound production with studio-recording specialization, and I've had to be hired by the people in the other classes(above and below) because none of the drummers they hire/got can tune their drums.
I'm not the best at tuning, but I have some general idea on what makes the drums sound good for studio-recordings. As the great Simon Philips said, you can't make a good drum recording when the drums sound bad from the get go(or something like that). No matter how much EQ'ing and expensive compressors you add, it always starts with the drums as a whole.
Anyone else come by a lot of drummers that can't tune for their life? On the positive side, I've gotten a lot of good connections and favors, but on the others side I'm pretty flabbergasted that there are so few that actually can tune the drums without slapping 10 pounds of gaffa-tape and toilet-rolls on their kits.
