I´m a beginner, but was told that if you don´t know what intervals to use to tune your drums, try singing the wedding tune "here comes the bride". Tune the lower drum to "here" and the higher one to "comes". That´s more or less a 4th apart. What notes you use to tune them is up to you but a popular choice is G for the lower drum and C for the higher :)

Hey guys and dolls...You can find me on FB and ask me any questions about Tunning or playing or what ever musical question you may have. I dont consider myself an expert but most of the things i know is because i listen to lots of great players and also great music and different styles and instruments etc...The Piano is the best percussion instrument and if you take some or play some that will help you to tune up your ears....See you. And have Fun man keep it positive that's the name of the game of Life!!!

When the shop dude 'clarifies' the interval thing, he starts off singing a 6th saying it's too close, and then sings an octave!! Not helpful :-/

LP Aspire congas & bongos sound way better then these! I know for I play on LP Giovanni galaxy bongos & congas as well as LP Aspire congas that blend nicely with my LP Giovanni galaxy bongos & congas. I did start out on LP Aspire bongos & they are great sounding don't sound cheap at all!

[@StuShoots]

Awesome! Just got myself a pair of Congas! Thanks fellas!!!

[@sandygould2698]

The Bongo's ,wow !

[@bongodoctor2014]

I have been working with Bram over the last week or two helping him to test and fine tune the new Bongo and Conga modes and he has done an amazing job. Drumtune Pro can now correctly detect the pitches of all sizes of conga and bongos and comes with a useful recommended tuning range guide. This is a real game-changer for me as a percussionist as I can now tune to specific notes and reproduce the same tunings each time. I imagine the best players in the world can do this by ear to a piano, but for the rest of us mortals this app opens the doors to congas and bongos that sound professionally tuned. every time...

I myself have used my own method of tuning. My method may not have a common name but it is simple and productive of a good sound.
