TUNE YOUR BASS DRUM QUICK & EASY! - Kick Tuning Workshop

[@TacoCrisma]

Dude I’m just here to say I used this method with a fresh emad the night before I went into the studio yesterday - I wish I could show you the result. My kick sounded like an absolute cannon. This method is fantastic. Tried and true. The engineer was impressed with the raw sound we were able to get.

[@roloduarte3100]

Awesome!

[@richardhingle3634]

I did the same exact thing. When the engineer played back I accused him of playing someone else's work! He said, " No man...this is YOU!"

[@MidlifeRenaissanceMan]

I lit a cigarette after that kick sound......and I don’t even smoke. I’m off to clean myself up.

Used his method on Snare wire placement when tuning the reso side of a snare about a month or so ago and it worked very well! So come this weekend when I decide to re-tune my drums I'm gonna try to tune all my drums with Rob's tuning method. Tried it on one tom and I got both heads tuned that way and checked pitches with a Tune-Bot within about 5 to 10 minutes!👍🏼

Absolutely brilliant Rob! I play gospel music in my home church. I retuned my bass drum this morning before our practice session...oh my word! What a sound, what a "punch" with no overtone. It altered the whole feel of how I play and I got some great feed back from the keyboard player (worship leader). Thanks man...love what you do! 😊

[@monicajordan35]

@@RobBeatdownBrownthank you for teaching me how to tune my drums sir

"This is not freaking trigonometry...". Actually the science involved is a lot more complex, that's the genius of your approach, because the complicated part is already sorted out by the manufacturer of the drum. Taking a visual indicator of tension like the wrinkles makes both the drum shell and the head to sound extremely close to the ideal sound they're designed to deliver. I really like your tuning technique because it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the video

[@B-a-t-m-a-n]

@@RobBeatdownBrown Why did it sound like a giant snare drum to me? Maybe let us hear you kick on it a bit.

[@nightrainbows1032]

Batman I was wondering the same thing. It sounded like it was paper and he punched right through it. I need to listen again with good headphones. All that aside, his tuning tips have been a life saver. I’ve always been able to get great drum sounds but was going about it completely haphazard. I would be continuously experimenting , trying anything and everything in constantly changing sequences until at last by sheer perseverance and luck I’d arrive at a killer tone. Now it takes me a FRACTION of the time it used to. In fact, I can do the entire kit now in the time it used to take me to do just the kick. THANK YOU ROB BROWN! You are the Best. Subbed

[@johncollins5552]

Get an Emad 2 on the batter head and you don't really need much else in the bass drum.

[@tammineuman5983]

I admire how simple you make things. I’m a 53 year old man. At the time I grew up, the 70’s-80’s, most toms had no resonant head. During the late 80’s we wanted thump and no sustain. During the 90’s, I had sound from heads killed, and triggered. I’ve recently started playing again after a 24 year hiatus. It’s amazing how bad one can become, after no play at all in that time period. Plus, actually tuning these batter-resonant heads has provided a level of complexity and frustration that, has all but removed my desire to play! We need more folks following your lead. Simplicity is beauty!

[@virginiaoverlander4720]

I just ordered a kit and getting back in to it after 30+ years of not playing. Learned allot from Rob and reminded of much as well.

[@cactusstudiossouth]

Your never too old to get started again! I switched to Bass for about 10 years and am now back to my drumming now!! Buy the best dampening Heads and use a pillow in you Kick! For those of us that enjoy playing drums in our living room studios, the rest of the house won't get their teeth rattled so much!!

[@eriklund784]

Me too! 3 decades since I’ve sat down and played for more than 15 minutes. I’m going to try this tuning and see how it goes!!!! Sounds great!

[@bonfireballads]

I bought a vintage japanese kit at a yard sale for $100. It was the former house kit at a local punk bar, where it was brutally abused. It didnt even sound like a drum set anymore. An employee at guitar center told me it belonged in a dumpster. I didnt listen to that. All it needed was new heads, and some tutoring from Rob Brown. I had the same reaction you have in this video. Thank you for all your videos!

[@a1guitarmaker]

I've been using and recommending your tuning techniques ever since I first saw your Maximum Thumpification video!

[@zacdrake]

Definitely gets the job done!! I saw the first one and my kicks have sounded great since!! No more fear of changing heads and not being able to get em to sound good again!! TIFTIB!!

I just took up playing again after some 25 years. Thank you for helping me back in with every video you have made. You sir are my Masterclass re-introduction to a passion I almost lost. Bravo!

[@markmainchannel]

Just took off both heads on my Tama 22”Superstar Classic bass drum and followed this method. Worked very well, just needed a couple tweaks but now it can break glass from 100 yards. Batter head is an Evans G2 clear with an Evans EQ3 resonant head. I don’t use laundry for muffling, just a small rolled up piece of foam taped snug to the batter head with 2 small pieces of non stick duct tape. BOOM!

[@nabilyassin1742]

just clarfication, break glass as in the metophorical way. Because I want to see one that isn't metaphorical

The original video that started it all for me. I had no tuning experience before watching Beatdown's original tuning videos. Those videos alone turned me into a tuning ninja. I still get compliments on my sound years later. Rob, again, thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU for this. You earned my subscription years ago for those videos, and I continue to spread the word of #MaximumThumpification.

Man, this was so helpful! My kick just wasn't sounding right, too much resonant sound and not enough thump. Just tuned it and waaaaay better! I watched the Tom video next and my toms are so good now! Sounds like a whole new kit.

I used this method yesterday in the studio. MAN, the best kick drum I've ever heard, no Slate samples can beat this guy!

My ported Gretsch Catalina 18 kick now sounds more awesome than it did before, it breathes, and has just the right tone and envelope, and the Vic Firth pillow is GONE! It will be great, mic’d or not. My toms and I are very happy too. Struggles are over.

[@lonnienorton.]

I just used your tuning method from your tom and snare videos and my drums sound amazing now. Thank you so much for all you do for all of us drummers.

[@spercoco]

IDK about anyone else but this method totally didn't work for me. Had to go back to the old fashioned way of taking forever to try and get each edge to sound the same pitch or tone, counting turns, etc...but you did make it look simple. It's why I hate tuning drums and stick to playing.

[@ThrashRebel]

My son (15) is the drummer of the family (I'm the guitarist/bass player/vocalist. His mom sings. No we aren't the new "Partridge Family." My wife used to be a singer/dancer. I used to be a gigging musician.) I bought him his first kit during the holidays, last year. So, I subscribed in order to help him with his kit (and decided I will try to learn some, as well). SO, forgive my ignorance, but I want to ask: Does he need a drum port? I put an Aquarian Super Kick II on his kick and an Evans ST on his snare (his tom heads are still the stock Ludwigs). What does the port do? How does it impact the sound? He is in beginner jazz band at school, but he wants to learn to play thrash metal (my main genre), as well, so he needs a kick with some thump AND snap. I put an Evans EQ patch on his kick to help with that. His kick is a 22" x 16". Any advice would be helpful.

[@amos5583]

Hey Rob, your tuning lessons are just the best. This is the best tuning I had on my drums.

[@pigwings]

Ok I just tried this. It was a little too boomy so I tweaked the reso head and tuned it up just slightly. That tightened it up nice and now my kick sounds great!

[@robgarcia5333]

That's the way I tune my bass drum from now on since I saw your first bass tunning video! Thanks buddy!

[@PedroBellora]

Fantastic video! I truly appreciate all that you share. Superb content and delivery. By the way, what advantage do you find in not using the criss-cross tuning method? Thanks again for a great video. Greetings from Argentina.

[@cuejay]

Probably the advantage not using the cross tune method is that IT WORKS. Cross tuning is for ensuring opposite lugs are tuned the same and then going back around to make sure they are all tuned the same. The Beatdown tuning method ELIMINATES the need for cross tuning.

[@philkibler4319]

I absolutely love this guy, he is straight forward, and genuinely informative!!!

[@rmediacraft]

I'm an engineer, not a player. We have a crappy kick drum at our church and fight it every week. Used your tuning technique yesterday. Dang! Deep, punchy and an instant fix. Drummer could feel the difference too. Still needed a touch of damping on the front head, but wow. Just wow. Thanks so much Rob! Toms are next!

[@Willo0680]

One of my favourite things about tuning this way, besides the result, is that it can be done anywhere so quickly and you don’t have to worry about the noise around you while your tuning. Simple and easy to do. I remember the first time I tuned my kick after watching the first video, I’m pretty sure I had the same reaction as Rob did in this one. Keep up the great work!

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Rob! Wow! I've been a percussionist/drummer for 37 years, and music teacher for 25 years. And about 3 years ago, I found you on KZbin. Since then - your simple little tricks or tips have been awesome! Your whole way of tuning totally changed my mind and how I tune. I mentioned this technique to my brother (a drummer for 5 more years than me) and he still swears by (especially for snare) alternating, tapping the edge, making sure it all sounds right, etc.... says there is no other way to do it....but likes how my kit(s) sound - even the less expensive "practice" kit that I have! Ha! He doesn't believe me when I tell him I tune each drum in about 5 minutes or less! I even had to re-tune a brand new snare right before my band was ready to play, something wasn't right - don't know exactly - but as the other guys were wrapping up there tuning etc... I flipped my snare over did the bottom head, and then the top - all the while my guys looking at like - "we need to be ready to go" and right when the lead singer turned to me to ask if I was ready, I flipped the snares on and started the show! Awesome - keep the videos coming! Great tips for all levels! I even referred a young student, who's family bought them a drum set for Christmas, to your KZbin channel!

[@cheagan]

I love this method! It lets the drum (size) dictate its tone. Brilliant!

[@Trays7940]

OK, after many years of playing drums I thought I had a really good sounding bass drum-- NOPE! I tried this technique just for the heck of it and my kick now sounds better then it ever has. Playing it seems easier also. It is so THUMPIFIED now. I have a 24" amber vista lite from Ludwig and through the years have tried a lot of ways to get it to THUMP... This technique really works. I will never tune any other way. The fact that there is very little, if any, ringing is so awesome. Exactly how a bass drum should sound. Thanks Rob!!!
