Hey John. The left hand, are they all doubles? Or is it 2 - 1- 2 - 2

[@MrBustemup]

What is the relationship of the tuning of the top to bottom heads on your toms? They sound great.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

The top and bottom heads of the toms are tuned to the same tension.

[@decadence34]

wooow what's the name of that song at the end, is so beautiful

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

The song at the end is Nica's Dream by Horace Silver from a demo my band made a couple of years ago. I'm glad you liked it.
