How To Tune Your Toms To The Key Of The Song - Part 1
In this video I show you a unique way of tuning your toms to the key of a song. In this episode I demonstrate how to use a tone generator to tune your heads to the same pitch so they will be completely in key with the key of the song. I am demonstrating this with my Gretsch 16x16 Floor Tom using Clear Ambassador heads on both the Batter and Resonant heads. I am tuning the floor tom to the pitch of Bb which is the dominant in the key of Eb major. It is best to use the Tonic and Dominant notes before any other scale tones because they are the most grounded and stable notes of a key. Part 2 will feature the rack and snare drums.
