Drum Technical

This section is intended to add depth and understanding as opposed to simple knowledge. to 'know why' something does X rather than 'know that it does X'

Here you can access information on tuning that will show you how to get the best sound out of your drum set, where to put what microphone for what drum in what scenario, how to build a soundproof room so no-one hears you play at 4am and much much more- browse around and tell us what you think

If you can share some of your technical experience by writing an article that is of benefit to other drummers then I encourage you to do so. Have an idea for an article? time to write one? talk to me

Drumset Tuning is so important I created a separate website tunadrum!

Here is an example from the head-seating page
