Drumset Tuning and Head Selection thread

Share lang po. Bagong damit!



Evans Onyx 2-Ply. Ganda ng tunog even for a cheap kit. Super sarap itono!

hindi ba masyado nang dead ang tunog nyan, bro? 2-ply na 7.5mil na tapos may moongel pa? i suggest i-try mo na walang moongel tapos paglaruan mo yung tuning para mas ma explore mo yung range nung drum heads. IMHO lang naman, bro. hehe. if they sound good to you, then don't mind me. 

anyway, ganda tingnan! bagay sa kulay ng kit mo yung heads.

Hehe ewan ko ba kc dun siguro sa pwesto nun kit. Parang pag walang moongel, may naririnig akong overtone e. Overtone nga ba tawag don hehe. Pero I'll take your advice bro. Try ko walang moongel hehe. Thanks bro!

kita ko sa pic parang enclosed ung drums mo sa small space tapos concrete wall yang katabi ng drums. mag riring talaga yan bro. dahil sa acoustics ng room. pag dinala mu sa labas, mag iba tunog nyan. maybe fit lang sa small space ung ginawa mung tuning at dampening ng drums. pero pag sa labas yan, i think dead ung sound. hindi kakanta ung toms. just my 23 cents.

nice yung heads bro inggit ako sa color. hehe

Hello, fellow forum-ers!

Ayun, kakakuha palang namin ng PDP Mainstage Kit para samin ng kapatid ko. First time palang namin magkadrum-set kaya hanggang arrangement lang kami tsaka tightening ng mga components pero yung sound hindi kami convinced na okay na sya..

eto nga pala yung drums nung kit:
8 x 10" and 9 x 12" toms
14 x 16" floor tom                                               [kasama ride, crash, hi-hats na may hardware]
18 x 22" bass drum
5 x 14" snare

  -yung toms binilhan na ng Remo weatherking pinstripe para sa batter head..sa batter head lang wala sa resonant (gamit namin parin yung pre-packed heads)
  - tapos snare naman, weatherking coated ambassador..para rin sa batter head only..wala sa ilalim
  - bass drum, wala pang modifications, pre-packed heads parin yung gamit namin

kaya tanong ko lang kung anong dapat na ipang partner sa resonant head galing dun sa mga batter head na binili namin..
pati kung ano maganda head para sa bass drum
hehe sensya na sa lahat..sobrang bago lang talaga

salamat ng marami in advanced!

Not a Remo drum heads guy, but based on what I had read, the Powerstroke 3 rates highly as a bass drum batter.

And according to Remo's website, it is best paired with an Ebony Powerstroke 3 as a bass drum resonant.
(See last table - http://www.remo.com/portal/pages/drumming/product_tips/Drumming+Product+Tips+Drumhead+Selection.html)

Remo's answer to the popular Evans EMAD series would also be worth a look - the Powerstroke Pro.

As for the tom resonants, 10-mil clear Ambassadors come to mind.

Mga sir available nba sa JB music ung Evans Hybrid snare drum head?.. Gusto ko itry eh.. Ano masasabe nyo don?..

[iplaydrums4u]

guys, question lang, mejo tight budget ngayon,
gaano ba kalaki ang difference between lazer and remo heads?
iniisip ko kasi snare lang muna ang remo, ang toms ko gawin ko na lang lazer muna?

pati ano pala marerecommend niyong remo head para sa steel na snare?
salamat

para sa snare, generally remo coated ambassador or pwede din remo coated emperor. kung gusto mo mag-lazer heads muna sa toms, hanapin mo yung parang powerstroke nila na heads (clear with built in tone control ring) swabeng swabe yun pramis!

IDRUMTUNE!!!



i highly recommend this to everyone. it works great medyo mabagal lang kesa kung kaya mo magtono gamit tenga lang kasi hihintayin mo magdisplay yung frequency after nung hit. ang dali na mag fine tune later using idrumtune. this is great for toms...not so much for snares and kick drums because they are very personal, always follow your taste.

yun lang, kailangan mo ng ipod, ipad, iphone at $1.99

[MarkBarrera]

Guys so mga 4 months na since I started drumming and bought by first drumset which is a normal Fernando. tas bumili ako ng b8 pro cymbals. Nagtono ng drums ko e yung teacher ko dati, taga yamaha siya pero ngayon di na ko naglelessons. So pano ko papagandahin tunog nito. Kaya ba sa tuning lang o kelangan na ng bagong heads? Thanks guys!

kung mejo tight pa budget, kaya naman sa tuning lang. (at konting muffling kung kinakailangan)
pero kung rich kid ka, then by all means, change the heads :bd

pano po ittune ung toms na parang tunog metallica.. ung parang kay lars po..

[Akira JUMBO]

New tuner in the market for those who does not have an Apple product to use the iDrumTune:

http://www.tune-bot.com/

Though imho the iDrumTune is a more practical tuner for the price as the TuneBot retails for $99.

[Riff_6603]

use either remo pinstripe or emperor heads, tune both batter and reso at medium-low (few key turns past "wrinkled"). it should have attack pero may low end pa din.

great share! marami daw discrepancies sa readings ng tuning though according sa reviews online. I'd go buy it though if it were half the price!

My thoughts exactly Bro. I would suspect the price would settle somewhere around $75 after sometime.

mga sir, what can you say about remo emperor X?.. san store po ba meron nito? ang lutong kasi ng tunog nya...

[Riff_6603]

mga sir, what can you say about remo emperor X?.. san store po ba meron nito? ang lutong kasi ng tunog nya...

Ok ang Emperor X kung gusto mo focused ang tunog ng snare mo (given the right tuning of course). Same head I have on my v.donati snare; medyo mahirap lang hanapin ang sweet spot, great tuning could be achieved around tight - med tight settings. Sa JB music ka makakabili nun. regards!

[ZherVin12]

I have a 6 lug generic snare. Kung ikakabit ko ung emp x dun, magiging focused kaya ung tunog nya (given na tama ung tuning), and does the number of lugs really matter?
