How do I tune my drums?

Tuning drums involves applying tension to the batter and resonant drumheads to specific pitches to achieve balanced tone frequencies. We recommend that the resonant head is tuned slightly higher than the batter head (½ step, for example) for pure overtones and sustain. Applying even tension to each tuning rod will achieve a balanced and pleasing drum sound for Toms, Bass, and Snare Drums.
