DrumDial Drum Tuner

As a beginner, I've always struggled with tuning my drums. My biggest problem was the flood tom, which almost always had a very long and out-of-tune hum, which I foolishly tried to hide by adding more dampening.
To my surprise, the solution was simple. I got a set of Evans Clear reso heads, and the Evans Black Chrome set, which are in themselves much easier to tune.
I got this tuner at a whim, not knowing much about the underlying concept, but after doing some research, my life has been made a lot easier.
The tuner is very well built, it's quite heavy, which is to be expected. My expectation is that I will never need to buy another tuner for my drums again.
It's easy to use, the tension gauge works very well and is very sensitive, and it reduced my time spent tuning significantly.
I would also like to add that tuners are an absolute must have if you are doing live drum recordings, and my sound engineer was very pleased with the tone I was able to supply when I went in the studio.
Overall I would definitely recommend buying this if you can afford it. If you take care of it, then it will most likely last a lifetime.

Yes, you read that right! For all of you bajo pickers out there, this is by far the best way to fine tune your banjo head, or at least confirm the desired level of tightness.

I bet it works great on the type of instrument this was originally intended for and, indeed, it was of great help when my wife wanted to tune her bongos. Most importantly for me though, it finally took all the gueswork out of tuning my banjo head, and I am very grateful for that!

Although a bit pricey, I assure you it is very sturdy (feels heavy in your hands) and works straight out of the box without any tinkering necessary!
