Tuning drums involves applying tension to the batter and resonant drumheads to specific pitches to achieve balanced tone frequencies. We recommend that the resonant head is tuned slightly higher than the batter head (½ step, for example) for pure overtones and sustain. Applying even tension to each tuning rod will achieve a balanced and pleasing drum sound for Toms, Bass, and Snare Drums.
This depends on a variety of factors, such as how often and hard you play. You should consider changing your drumheads if you notice two visual conditions called dips and dents. These conditions will affect the feel and response of the drumhead, along with a loss of energy transfer to the drum shell. If you are playing live shows (2-4 times a month) and rehearsing (1-3 times per week), we recommend changing your drumheads once every two months. We recommend changing your drumheads every six months for recreational playing at home, in a practice room, or just having fun.
The type of drumhead you use can vary based on genre: for Rock, a double-ply head is often preferred for durability and a strong, resonant sound; Pop tends to favor clear or coated heads for a versatile, balanced tone; Jazz drummers often go for coated, single-ply heads for a warm, resonant sound; Hip Hop and R&B typically benefit from thicker drumheads that deliver a punchy, deep tone with controlled overtones.
The best drum types for a drum circle depend on participant preferences, facilitation style, and atmosphere. Popular choices include Tubanos, Djembes, Frame Drums, Tambourines, and Shakers. Ultimately, the ideal percussion instruments complement and foster collaboration and inclusivity in creating a harmonious connection and musical experience.
