Drumset Tuning and Head Selection thread

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

ayos to ah, hindi mo na kailangan bumili ng drumdial

nag search ako sa installous pero sadly, unavailable pa siya

per naka 1$ promo siya ngayon baka bumili ako bukas, na try mo na ba sa iphone to peeves?  sa tingin mo san mas maganda download? sa iphone or ipad? hindi ko kasi alam san ko siya download eh

[killikillers]

teka mukhang nasagot ko na tanong ko nung napanuod ko yung video 

download ako bukas

I'm planning to buy the first upgrades to my all-stock Fernando kit. Due to budget limitations, eto lang po ang plano ko bilhin muna:

Sabian AAX cymbal set (14" hi-hat, 16" crash, 20" ride) - 12k ang asking price, brand new, with bag

Remo Clear Pinstripe Drumheads (for all toms)

Remo Coated Ambassador Drumheads (for snare)

Ano po palagay niyo mga master?

Should I change the reso too or pwede na muna yung stock reso ng Fernando?

Sabian AAX or Sabian B8?

The Remos are a nice choice...for the cymbals, though OT, you may assess if the AAX will suit your type of music, and, make sure that these are true (orig) sabians, considering fake ones showed up recently here in the forum...the price seems too good to be true if they are indeed new ones AND with the bag, even new B8s may be already above this price range...

if they're really new orig sabians then grab them! it's a jackpot...hth

[banjoboy]

OT po...sorry...how will I know if the Sabians are original or fake?

 Salamat sa replies mga master. I went to JB Music sa Megamall to buy Remo Clear Pinstripes for the toms and the floor tom, unfortunately walang stock kaya Evans Clear EC2 nabili ko. I also got a Remo Coated Ambassador for my snare. Ang problema ko ngayon ay pagtotono. Baka may taga Pasig jan na pwede ako tulungan at turuan magtono? Tatanawin ko na malaking utang na loob.

Mga master, ano po magandang reso for bass drum and toms? Ang heads ng toms ko are clear Evans EC2's, tapos yung bass drum balak ko clear na Evans EMAD2 ang ikabit.

for toms, you could NEVER go wrong with G1 clears. for the BD, you could opt to go with EMAD Reso's or EQ3 Reso's. not too sure if it's available locally though. nandyan naman si reims aka wireme for special orders though.

JB Music has the EQ3 Reso's for the BD, but the only tom reso's they have (at least online) are Genera Reso's. Anyway, tawag na lang muna ako sa JB to ask what Evans reso's they have.

Thanks po!

I'm planning to change all my tom's heads - do I need to change the resos as well? This is the first time that I'll be changing my tom heads... thanks...

Great question! actually that depends on the sound that you're aiming for, as well as your allotted budget. if you're just looking at getting a decent sound out of your drums, changing the batters from the stock heads and retaining the resos could do you decent justice, given that you tune it fairly well. BUT, if you're looking for that studio quality tuning or a specific sound for that matter, then I suggest you better invest time and money in researching combinations apt for your drums and head preferences. Hope that helped out. Regards!

[burog]

Thanks Riff. I think I will keep my toms' resos for now and see what happens.

mga sir kaylangan po ba both ang papalitan or yung batter head lang po mismo yung papalitan? kabibili ko lang kasi ng drum set heheheh! salamat mga boss!

[musicianurse28]

Batter head lang muna palitan mo sa Toms.. Pwede pa resonant head nun.. Sa Bass Drum naman pwede na rin stock head nya for the mean time.. Sa Snare naman maganda kung pareho mong papalitan..

[ron12222]
