Tunebot Help

[Studdy]

Just got a tunebot drum tuner. I dont really understand the unit because the suggested setting are so tight its insane. It says to hit the drum in the center to find the fundemental tone, which i do. Then it says to go lug by lug. I think I know the problem but dont know the solution. Let use the floor tom for an example. If i hit the center and say i get a reading of 80. Then i start near the lugs i also get a low number like 80 or so. I know the tunebot suggested settings a probably a bit high but literally it say to tune to like 150 and shit. Thats nuts. Can anyone with experience using this thing give me an idea of what numbers and methods they are using. I use a yamaha birch set with 10 12 and 16 toms.

Thanks Everyone!

Yeah thier suggested tuneings are shit. I'll tell you what I went with when I am not at work.

Can i get some specific tuning values.

Example

10 inch tom (110hz at lugs on batter/ 115hz at lugs on resonant)

12 inch tom (100hz at lugs on batter/ 105hz at lugs on resonant)

16 inch tom (90hz at lugs on batter/ 100hz at lugs on resonant)

I know that no 2 kits are going to sound the same but i really think i could benefit from this.

Thanks everyone!
