Very Useful Tools
★★★★★
“ Very useful tools. It worked perfectly. The tool is even flexible enough to go beyond what it says it can do. If you use the 1.5 ratio method, your reso head frequency will be higher than the batter head. Trying tuning the reso head to a 1.5 ratio, and your reso head will have a lower frequency than your batter head, which I prefer. Any thoughts I had regarding the app resulted in a very fast response.”
- Joseph

Amazing Tuning App
★★★★★
“ Wow. Amazing app. The resonant tuning mode is a game changer for me. I tried different ratios and got some incredible sounds out of my floor toms. Looking forward to the next update.”
- Jared

Proper Drum Tuning
★★★★★
“ What you can do with this app is amazing! I have been a drummer for 60 years and a professional for a good part of that, including doing some studio work. After working with this app and spending time tuning up both the top and bottom of my drum heads, being careful to put them within the proper frequency ranges, my drums have never sound so good! No matter how good a drummer you are, you will sound a whole lot better getting this app and properly tuning your drums”
- Michael

Highly Recommend
★★★★★
“ Save yourself the frustration of trying to tune your drums with a generic instrument tuner. I spent a couple of days trying other tuners before finding this one. After watching the tutorial and reading the instructions this is pretty clear cut. I'm really impressed with how this tuner catches the pitch when other apps just can't quite do it. What really puts the icing on the cake is this app isn't subscription based! Well done. Highly recommended”
- Daniel

Powerful Drum Tuning Tool
★★★★★
“ Just wanted to say, thank you so much for making this app! Though my old iPhone 5s has its limitations, I was able to convert it into a powerful drum tuning tool using this application. It’s quite convenient, intuitive, easy to use, etc. The lug equalizer feature is excellent, and I also appreciate being able to save the tunings used before so I can get the exact same tuning another day. I have really learned a lot while using this app, training my ear to hear specific intervals, understanding tuning science, and much more. Before I got this app, I was lousy at tuning drums. They had many overtones, yet were also in a way completely dead as well. Since then, I’ve used iDrumTune quite a lot, and it has worked very well for me! I’ve learned a lot more about tuning drums, to the point that I can make a drum kit sound fairly decent without my phone. If you are still learning how to tune drums, or looking for a less expensive alternative to TuneBot, I can’t recommend iDrumTunePro enough. It was worth every cent of the money I paid. Thanks iDrumTune!!!”

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!
