Thanks for the information, Facon...

Tuning's a pain for me, but I like it when I get it right.

Kinda like when I used to drink tequila...

I hated the process, but loved the results.....

I think he meant saying "give me an A" to the guitar or bass player.

...And who has roadies anyway.-jk

Yeah, George of the jungle, the Olympic theme, here comes the bride (going up) those all work for me.

I've also fought with a tom to get that note, and then pulled it off the consolette and put it back on, and something just sits right and allows the shell to resonate.

Sometimes vintage drums can be stubborn.

Come again?????

LOL, isn't the "allure" of those drums coming from their "vintage" sound? They certainly don't have a new sound. That was an odd statement.

Something like this give you any help?

Do you collect them or anything?

What are you doing here? LoLoLoLo

Interesting thread here. I was not aware that a phone could be a tool used to tune your drums. I dont have a smart phone (and dont want one) but this is making me consider trying an electric device to aid in the tuninig. I am still trying to "train my ears" so I can tell the difference between high and low tones. Thats my whole problem, I tap the drum about 2" from each tension rod and get them to sound the same, but Im not always sure which way to turn the key. Sounds crazy I know, but thats my problem.

But I would prefer to just be able to tune with my ears, so the purchase of a device will be a last resort. I love the statement someone said early in the thread, "use the two apps between your ears", lol, thats good!

You have no clue do you. Hang around for a while and you will find out who your speaking of. Or maybe you do know and just joking?

No I don't know who I am speaking of.

Never heard of the guy.

I was just going by what he posted.

Maybe he was joking?

Who cares?

What do I know? :D
