Motivation behind the Drum Tuning Bible

Note from Author.

The musical ability of someone playing drums is not synonymous with an ability to technically understand it. You don’t have to play at all to know how to tune a drum. Because you are musically proficient, does not mean you can or know how to explain how to make a drum sound the way you want it.

The DTB is my way of tryong to make the art of tuning understandable and focus on the detail missing from other articles and the typical responses on the subject.

I don’t know everything, but having been in the market for a new set and experiencing misinformation at all levels, I felt I could help transmit accurate knowledge on the art and science of the technical side of the drum, head selection and tuning issues. The DT Bible is my attempt to make it readily available, all in one place to everyone for the price it should be, FREE!
