SETTING UP AND TUNING YOUR DRUMS

Without your teacher, you may not be used to tuning your drums and want some additional support. Although drum kits are unpitched, the kit still needs elements of tuning to get the sound you need. Different styles often need slightly different drum tuning. In this video Kate Wilkinson shows you how to set up and tune your drum kit at home and perhaps you’ll get some tips to tune your drums like the professionals!
