Drum Tuning BIBLES??

[Baron of Norsworthy]

Does anyone know of any really good books on Drum tuning because I am a guitarist myself and it seems some drummers do not know how to get a decent sound.( I am not trying to insult drummers )

Any help from Drummers would be great and people who have any recomendations would be appreciated.

This is a great free resource: http://home.earthlink.net/~prof.sound/index.html

You can also find some good videos on youtube if you look.

Thanks, that was a quick reply.

Has anyone seen / read any of the bob gatzen tuning tutorials??

I've seen a big drum video he did. He seems like a quirky guy.. I couldn't really watch for too long. I found some other, shorter videos that got to the point quicker.

There really is the "Drum Tuning Bible". Search it on google it's a PDF and very descriptive.

Do you recall what the other videos were called??

Not to sound Cliche'd but experiance is the best teacher. From my own personal experiance it's a bit more of a "feel" thing. there's alot more contributing factors that with a guitar string.

True, but I dont have any drums of my own so I need to read up.

I downloaded a Steve Smith DVD called Drum Set Technique and he got real into tuning for obviou reasons. The guy clearly knows what he's doing. I don't play drums or even play with a drummer in a band at the moment but I watched a lot of it. It certainly shed some light on why some drummers sound great and how to tell right off if the dude has a clue.
