This should not be a problem unless the drum head is extremely worn. However, used heads with indentations and scuffed areas around the edges will make the tuner have different readings if the tuning tip is placed directly on a scuffed surface or in a dent. Picking up the tuner and placing it down again in the same spot should give you an identical gage reading. Now, if you want a different tone, slowly tighten or loosen each tuning lug to your desired tuning point, again matching all gage readings. (Tighten each tuning lug a little at a time, otherwise the drum head will not seat properly.)Ģ. Continue picking up and moving the DrumDial to each tuning point, tightening each tuning lug to achieve identical gage readings. Do this until the drum head is sufficiently tight and the head is properly seated.ģ. At this point, the drum should be in tune with itself. Find the lug with the highest reading and tune the other lugs to match this one. Pick the tuner up and move it to the next tuning lug, and so on (be sure to compress the tuning tip slowly).
Take readings using the large needle hand only, the small needle is not used for tuning. At this point, remove your hand from the DrumDial (don’t rest your hand on the drum head as this may give an inaccurate reading). Simply clip it onto the neck of the DrumDial and position the tuner so the Edge Gage lightly touches the inside rim of the drum. This distance can be easily measured using the DrumDial Edge Gage. The DrumDial base should be about ¾ of an inch from the edge of the drum directly in front of a tuning lug.

Get the tuner that really works, get a DrumDial and make it possible for your drums to consistently sound great! DrumDial has been designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards with all the key features you would expect from the best drum tuner available.
You can eliminate these problems by using a DrumDial to measure drumhead tension directly from the drumhead, allowing you to precisely tune your drums faster and easier than ever before. Tension rod torque can be used to tell you when you are over tightening a bolt to prevent thread damage, but is not accurate for drum tuning because of the difference in screw tolerances, plating, corrosion, and thread wear. All drum users will appreciate the ability to accurately tune their drums, again and again, especially in loud environments.ĭrumDial quickly and precisely tunes all drums by accurately measuring drumhead tension NOT tension rod torque. The DrumDial Drum Tuner does this by measuring Timpanic Pressure - not tension rod torque.
Timpani, snare drums, rack toms and bass drums are all easily tuned without even hitting the drum head. The DrumDial Drum Tuner works great on all types of drums (especially Timpani) and will allow equal amounts of pressure to be measured at each tension rod point to insure an even tuning.
