All user reviews of 4/5 for the Tama TW100 Tension Watch

This is a good tool that does its job ie "VAGUELY MEASURING VOLTAGE SKINS" Those who expected more or taking that for a miracle tool is wrong.

Let's be clear:
-So it takes and this was measuring tool
-Placing the pulling tool near 1 or by placing two fingers spacing between the tool and the circle
We squeezes her skin by applying a voltage equal to each tie by reading the value on the tool
We have honed ear if necessary

Or faster or longer than traditional tuning, except that most people believe that equal voltage on the meter gives a perfect tuning, what is wrong when the flexibility and deformation of one knows skin throughout his life.
More logically more correct setting is low unless the device is accurate. For eg kick drum I found the device useless.
Knowing all that we can approach the machine for what it really is.

Useful to have a solid base setting and close enough to be called identical preset each time, useful for identifying "the shallow draft." Useful to quickly check the voltage.

Here is a useful tool but not necessary when you know how to use it or wants to use the base.
I take 3 points due aberrant price.

I just bought it, well, might as well say right away, it's a nice gadget, expensive, and I doubt the real accuracy (no control of weights and measures, for example).. For utility, ca can assure just before a concert, to install the gear, help if there is a lot of hype about ... For a drum tech for example?

But let the tests:
Well, setting the snare .... And much to my surprise ... I'm not that bad ...
My tension, taken in the ear, are almost all just ... And for the rest, it's the same ... So at home, no use! ... But I still noted the tension .... slol
For a pro? I'm not, so I know Po .... lol
It is not a cherry stem for us poor amateurs drummers, artists or pseudo proven ...
Go, a small 2 j'met for doubt (well, j'vous say with time, if 1 or 3) ... lol

Go to the ENT, it is more useful!

A promise due
He that never changed my mind I cast the first stone!
I took all my tensions, and spent two days to test ... Well, it damn well!
I noticed each time (no chance of losing the right setting !)...
My sound is much better! And the kick, my god ....
Unfortunately, a snare drum core, is a snare ..... Basic ... snifff
Come on, the jewel is worth more than 3 ... An 8 would be more appropriate!
But it's mega expensive! Qd same ...

I have this toy for almost a month. I am a novice Contents acoustic drum, until I n Submitted played on my yamaha DTXTREME II s. I have taken the plunge and bought a tama starcalssic performer BB. The surprise when I dballe, tom 14 "bass drum and the skins do not montes: bone (requires conditioning)
N'tant not at all to my ear, I ordered this tension watch (and skin for the remo bass drum by the way).
In fact it is neither more nor less than comparator mcanique.
Rgler for my drums, it's easy, I look table and applies the rglages "standards" on all skin types (knocks and reasonable). So good, sounded just the first time! Even if some tie rcalcitrants measures are not pile hair on trais gave a harmonious tuning trs.
Satisfied with the feedback, I changed the skin of my original Evans bass drum and I put the remo coated bought ... L t is not so easy, rgler tension is almost mission impossible! I tried to stretch and relax to death to get there, do anything, whatever the technique, the ties are either barely in tension is not tight at all (they are moving the hand without any effort) to the latter, no one is turned on and ADI has over 50!
I put the skin and the rglage evans only took 3 minutes!

So that conclusion, it's a great device for the toms as demand exceeds the voltage 40, below and above for skin oil, it is better to trust his or orreille a cl dynamometrique.
I do it again this choice without concern given the precision of the tuning that only rsulte BMOL trsdtendues for skin that become almost impossible rgler.

APRS reading all the rave reviews on the Controller pressure Tama TW100, I bought lai (66 euros at Total Music the cheapest jai could find) and I just got it. APRS testing trs cest actually good but beware! Its also annoying and trs rglage the drumkit fully taken my Lapras afternoon! I mexplique. Dj rglage 1 cm of the tie seems to me (as some opinion) a bit limited and APRS have test in every sense a good compromise seems to be two fingers (you NPRF ground not a whiskey before?) and anchors. Then following the fawn to ask the Controller cards can go as far as 10 units! If you just dry OPDs will swell the measure. The technique adopted jai is to position the TW larrte on two fingers of the drawing, and then adjust lil good position in front of the tie rod ugly the top of the TW and then can ask as dlicatement THE CONTROL to make a correct measurement (try several times to be sure). I recommend also good uninstall, lies flat on a table Because, I said to beginners jme eyeGO to the ground a larrache dune and after half an hour when t vertbres have the neck strength to play spin the measures and that your always on the snare you TDIs, eyeGO want to take a table and chair!
Another remark, with the toms (Skins transparent dorigine Pearl) jai rglages could do fairly quickly, but with the snare jai galr lot. I think that was just the snare dorigine (Pearl Export drum) which is pretty basic. Dailleurs on the snare drum, snare cot, there is a lightweight mplat on wood made for the passage of the stamp completely distorting measures, such as mplat close ties surrounding the stamp. Short! Rgler shit!
Anyway, once all these points ngatifs oversights, I am satisfied because of the same facts rglages, drums sounds. Rglages indicated by the Tama are those jai utiliss for toms and bass drum sounds and frankly a plutt well (the bass drum mconnaissable) on the other hand for the snare ( because of the quality of it and hides Pearl original post, I think) the show too rglages prconiss dharmoniques and jai rglages the review based on my taste (82 hits and stamp 70).
Finally, for those who have a lot of patience, this tool will be to test INTERESTED rglages DIFFERENT and especially note any rglages INTERESTED, presss for those who do not want sfaire shit, go your way! For beginners like me (jsuis guitarist in fact) it can Savre necessary because even if jai a good ear for the guitar in any case, a drumkit rgler nest not as simple as your guitar and jai daccord seen quavec technology to tighten the screws on the cross with your fingers to go to dpart dun rglage homogne tie rods does not really as long quune screws a little hard and the tension is wrong on my statement with the toms jai TW100 card tie between some 15 units. Voil jespre jai that all could clearly indcis.
Conclusion II (the return) regardless of the drumkit and use whatever rglages, cest one who hits it that does it all! In addition to the drumkit, cest much more obvious that the guitar, cest lnergie you put all that heard lon! LSAC lot when you play anything in a dung!!

<strong>For how long have you been using it?
</strong> About 6 months

<strong>What thing do you like most/least about it?</strong>
Plus: gain incredible time
the least: its price

<strong>What is your opinion about the value for the price?
</strong> Plea, it could be cheaper

<strong>Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?</strong>
Yes without hesitation

<strong>Global opinion:

</strong> I use it to apply any adjustment that I found after several hours of research. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">This is not a magical object that will do everything alone!</span> It will especially help you to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">refine your settings and replicate them in the infinity and the shortest time.

I now use it again before each concert and recording. Within minutes, my kit is adjusted accurately and always with the same key. No more wasted time at all to settle each time the ear.

I would have been 10/10 if it did not cost so much, so my final score was 8 / 10
