DubiousDubs « Speeds up tightning process, and adds precision otherwise impossible to attain »
Published on 12/02/11 at 19:16This is a great invention that I have been waiting for a while for. The experienced drummer to the intermediate to the beginner, regardless of the level of the user this device is a useful asset and a requirement to any drummer’s arsenal. Somewhat of a wrench, this unit hooks to the lugs of any drum set with them and measures the pressure of the head. This is important because using one’s eye to look for ripples in the drum head when tuning is only so useful. For precision tuning this device is amazing and it really fills a void that when used with other products aids in the creation of an even sound regardless of who is using the set.
Another cool feature of this is that anyone can now help. In the past, only one person could tune a head properly, to ensure even turns, even pressure, etc. Now this enables anyone to tune a drum head like a pro.
I guess the only downside is that this is purely a tool, and not a full featured unit that can take a drum from headless to tuned in 1 shot. It still requries someone who knows when a drum head is optimally tightened and tuned to finish the set. I have found this unit is awesome to use in the studio, as the tech guys who work the board, and have ltitle if any familiarity with drums or tuning can help lend a hand. This means the unit has paid for itself.
I suggest this unit for anyone looking to tune fast and accurately.
All in all, I amd very happy with my purchase, and see no downside or bad thing about the unit. It is reasonable, and is not too expensive, but it also has it’s limits and will require someone to know the procedures for tuning a drum head beyond just tightening lugs.
