4.2 Tuning for Optimal Sound
Tuning is crucial for achieving the best sound from your drums. Each drum has top (batter) and bottom (resonant) heads, both of which affect the sound.
- Kleine Trommel: Tune the batter head for desired stick response and the resonant head for snare wire sensitivity.
- Tom-Toms: Tune both heads to a similar pitch for maximum resonance, or slightly different pitches for a bending effect.
- Bassdrum: The bass drum is often tuned lower for a deep, punchy sound. Dampening (e.g., with a blanket inside) can control sustain.
