How Drum Tuning Technology can Benefit You and Your Drums:
Drums are an instrument with an unlimited range of opportunity to personalise and perfect your drum sound. You can control your drum sound through effective tuning, but also by your choice of shells and drumheads too. Tuning or optimising the sound of an instrument isn’t easy; neither guitarists nor pianists tune or tension their instruments without assistance. In fact, the human ear is not well designed for drum tuning, because drums do not create conventional harmonic tones.
Furthermore, drums have a number of drum tuning components; two drumheads with multiple lugs and tension rods, making them one of the hardest instruments to tune well. The iDrumTune Pro app is based on cutting-edge acoustics research, working much like an electronic guitar tuner, but for drums. A simplistic tuning device cannot work for drums, because drumheads vibrate in a very complex manner. So, iDrumTune uses a sophisticated analysis algorithm to identify and evaluate the sonic characteristics of your drums. The iDrumTune app then provides feedback on how to tune the drumheads in order to achieve your perfect drum sound.
Using our app, you can experiment with different drum setups and achieve the same drum sound every night. You’ll become confident in your sound at every gig, for different music styles, and whenever changing drumheads. IDumTune is more accurate than the human ear, so you can always ensure that your drumheads are evenly tensioned. You can also ensure perfect pitch and that your resonant head works in unison with the batter drumhead. Learn how to make your kick drum deep and powerful, get a cracking snare drum tone, and make your toms sing out. So, now you can embark on a journey to fully understand drum tuning, once and for all!
