Jim,Have fun with your tunebot! A good tuning that I’ve used for an EXTREMELY fat sound on my new USA Club Dates is tuning the rack tom to A# and the floor tom to D#, which is 200 hz for the 12” and 134 for the floor. I have mine tuned equal on both sides, but I tend to sometimes tune the reso higher than the batter head. This tuning is really best for rock, when I’ve tried to play Jazz tuned this low the drums aren’t sensitive enough at a pianissimo to piano level to get the best tone. They just kind of grumble unless you lay into em more, then they sound superb! Perfect for that fat rock sound.Here’s a link to the tunebot calculator:http://tune-bot.com/calculator.htmlIf I want to mess around with changing the pitches, I tune them with the tune bot at a moderately low tension, and then move each lug up a quarter to a half turn at a time until I find where they sing in the tuning range. Then I’ll measure the pitches and write them down to remember them.OldReliable

Went with C 131 fundamental on the mounted 12 and F 87 fundamental on the 14 floor tom. Basic process is really simple... took me about 45 minutes from pulling it out of the box to putting the drums back on the kit. This is a great tool for me and really helped me get the drums dialed. I am very happy with the result!! I matched batter and reso. I had been using moongel at the very edge of the head but was able to remove it. I think having the tunebot helped me get a real musical interval between the drums which means having them resonate together sounds great... so no need to dampen anything. I do want to experiment with tunings but for now I’m going with the C and F. We are doing “Sister Golden Hair” in the studio so the toms need to be singing! :). Thanks again for all the help and input. The forum is awesome��.
