Do You Retune Your Drumkit After you brought it Outside?

[Diadem]

i did notice a big difference how your drum kit sound from another environment, closed venue or open...

so i always re tune my kit during open environments...

OT: is this topic discussed in the drum bible?

Sometimes. But oftentimes I would just remove the muffling (o-ring, tissue & duct tape,etc.) when playing outdoor where more resonance from the drums is needed.

Though in the Drum Tuning Bible, their concepts are more geared towards studio situations.  But the idea is there - The size of the room plays a huge part in how frequency waves develop and to what extent a frequency will develop.


In my case...  Yeah, I do tune and re-tune, depending on the venue size.  I don't really have a formula for it; but I just tune and adjust until I find the appropriate sound.
