Tune A Tom In 2 Minutes With Me 🥁 (Talkless Real Time w/ Beatdown Brown)

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

If y'all don't think it's THIS easy...grab a tom and try it for yourself! If you're one of the thousands of drummers that already know what's up, let 'em know in the comments!! Oh...don't forget to grab this T-shirt 😉 Link in description ✌

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Toms are A DODDLE ! Snare lil bit harder. Cymbals IMPOSSIBLE :D

[@drumfanatik316]

Rob Brown, since the first time you posted this, I’ve been using this method and teaching it to my students. It couldn’t get any easier!!! No tune bot, no Drum Dial, other fancy tuning methods etc, just push, turn, done!!! Love it!!!

[@arsonne]

I’ve been using this man’s tuning methods for years. Made my toms and bass drum especially sound better than ever.

[@cuellar23]

Unbelievable. Ive been playing for 40 years and had my own complicated way of tuning. I tried this and in 5 minutes my toms sound better than ever. Boy do I feel dumb, haha! Thanks Rob!!!

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I have an electronic kit. Imma sit this one out dawg.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Why can't all tutorial stuff be this easy and helpful to follow. Love it ❤

[@jserra-pf4uc]

I can attest that this does in fact work! Rob does a video that was actually an updated version prior to this video's release, and he goes more in depth especially with the tuning. There is also a bass drum tuning video and a snare tuning video. Thanks Rob for making no-nonsense style videos that are effective 👍

[@bgdrummer100]

I find this method even easier with clear toms as they reflect light and really show off the wrinkles better than a coated head.

[@XoseGuitar]

Get a lamp close to the coated head and you'll see them better.

[@Spiratti]

Rob you are a legend! I’ve been using this method since your first video tutorial. And now, I can’t help but re-tune rehearsal/house kits using this method wherever I go. Thanks!

[@asherbank]

You can also use a small, not too heavy kettle bell and place it on the center of the head instead of pressing with your fist. This makes the pressure exerted on the head consistent, so you dont have to worry about pushing down with the same force the whole time you tune. I think you may have shown this technique in one of your previous videos but I dont remember...

[@huejanis2120]

Definitely recommend newer drummers check this way of tuning out! Personally I have Remo pinstripe oil edges. This way of tuning makes them sound absolutely beautiful. I do a little editing after the tuning to get them exactly how I prefer(as should any drummer!) what I usually do is tighten the batter of my 10” a little tighter then shown in the video. For the reso, I go quarter and a half turn down. For my 12” I do almost exactly the same type of tuning, only difference is I go a little tighter on the top head, then top it off with half a moon gel (also! Moon gels can be reused over and over again, simply wash them with soap and water, dry, and good as new)

[@Enarmad]

"Oil edges" ?? No oil anywhere in Pinstripes...has never been either. Oil is only found in Evans Hydralic heads.

[@dakinefaka]

Picked up a 3 pc Pearl Forum set from a thrift store for $60. Tuned the old Evan’s G2 heads on them with Rob’s method. Wow, what a big difference. Can’t wait to rewrap them and put on fresh heads. Don’t be critical of used entry level kits. Can be a fun project.

[@beast_of_burden7762]

Hey Rob! Big fan of yours! Thanks for the vid, You’re one of the only KZbin drummers that get Straight to the point with no BS, you Rock🤘

[@bradjones1320]

just bought a new drum head and was dreading the tap tap tap at every lug drum tuning I was taught.... then I watched this video and 2 minutes later I was done.

[@idig63]

Thanks a million Rob. Can you please do a bass drum tuning video or do you already have one? Cant find it if so

[@rubengarridodrums]

Ya perdí la cuenta de cuántos años tengo tocando la batería y recién hace unos meses viendo tus videos es que aprendí como afinar la batería... Gracias 💯

[@skiplamm]

I used that very method this weekend while I was setting up for a show it works great

[@drumdoug8083]

Ya know Rob, I'm one of those old school equal tension dudes followed by the tap-tap-tap routine. I am gonna give this a shot though. It's just too easy not to try it. Really dig your content man. 👌

[@woody4269]

Been using your technique 2.5 years ago after watching your earlier vid on this. I started learning drums 2.5 years ago. It always sounds it's best too. Thanks mate. It's golden. 🍻✌️🇦🇺

[@superckn7]

Absolutely the best vid on tuning i've EVER seen: simple and quick: YES!! BD Brown, you are a gift to us all!! RnMT

[@IsaacWale2004]

I was your 1000th like and you deserved it. Easy tutorial to follow, thanks :)

[@viktornanos2275]

We NEED another flow workout/sticking from you, last one worked wonders!

[@kenfreeland9159]

Thanks for sharing your technique, my drums sound better than ever! I was guilty of overthinking, thank you for simplifying the process.

[@rickwells5624]

Wow. That just blows my mind, lol I haven't had a set of drums in 15 years or more. Just picked up a used set and tried to get a sound that i like has taken several attempts over the past 3 or 4 days off and on. A friend suggested i look on KZbin for tutorials, which led me here, and within minutes, I had an awesome sound using the Rob Browns method. Simply bliws my mind, lol Thank you, sir, for posting this. Even years ago when I played all the time in several different bands I never knew to tune drums like this. Although it didn't take me long back then and my ear was trained much better also. Anyway, thanks again. Really appreciate you 👍👍

[@StoyanStoyanov88]

Thanks to easy tunning drums,this is the best easy method and nice tone of drums,regards from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 :)

[@XeRo333]

Now, time for a bass tuning video like this one and the snare drum😁👍🏼

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

😉

[@DavidOakesMusic]

@@RobBeatdownBrown REAL TIME MAXIMUM THUMPIFICATION !

[@blujay9191]

It normally takes me longer just to find my drumdial that it did for you to tune both heads.

[@monsterdrummer3332]

Thanks Bro! Definitely makes sense! I've Been spending way too much time on other methods and "fine tuning" Appreciate ya!

[@GrassRoots-fp4ty]

Do not over think this!! I REPEAT, DO NOT OVER THINK THIS!!!

[@ipodgolfer13]

I’ve been doing this method since the first time he showed this years ago. It’s consistent and is amazing as tuning is one of my least skilled aspects of drumming. Even as a professional.

[@timfrye675]

Lol, wow!! So much for the " back n tha day tap tap tap" around the edge. Thankz " Bruh bruh ".

[@sixtieskid062]

"Do not overthink this!!" - Easier said than done.😄😂

[@chrisgoudy1954]

Great tip. I recently used the snare tuning video and it worked perfectly, so there is no reason to think this won’t work on the toms.

[@kirjian]

This dude makes it hilariously easy for the goons that complain that it's too hard. No excuses! Thank you Rob 😊

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Tuning toms is so easy.

[@Sybex82]

Always good the basic and discipline steps indeed 🥁👍🏾

[@keeranimal8]

Not just a great and informative video, but that background music is 🔥

[@Lunatic_joe]

I love stage custom sound so much

[@klauth_Yksyn]

Great video! I enjoy the way you explain things on your channel Rob 👍

[@stixxnstonerz3450]

Some days when I’m tuning my drums with tools and gadgets but just can’t seem to get it right, I simply get frustrated and use this method. More often than not, it works. Lol

[@gregrose6915]

I've done this from your previous video. So easy and best time drums ever sounded. I like low pitch anyway. Keep up the great work.

[@bruceschwab]

Rob, I'm new to the channel and I will tell you I love it!!!! I'm a upper moderate drummer who finds even your beginner lessons very useful. Love your teaching style......you get to the point and explain everything well. I'm really glad you don't use a bunch of spasmatic b.s. like most of these drummers do on you-tube. Keep up the good work Rob!

[@marclemery6673]

I use a 15lb kettle bell in the middle of the head. Keeps constant weight while I find the right light. Unlike my hand and tempo does not fluctuate... 😂

[@jeffreyjohnmann]

Awesome video! I have been playing a long time and only just recently saw this same tuning technique on a Nick D'Virgilio video. I can't wait to try this out! If both you AND Nick say this is the way to do it, who am I to disagree?!?

[@johnmcdonough666]

I don't know why this works but it does.

[@RalphARoo]

Ok I learned this method from your previous videos. I do like your videos better when you talk. Anyway, I am what you described as a “rocket scientist.” Obsessive with tuning. I even have several tension meters and other tuning devices. The method you describe puts the drums in a much lower range than what I used to tune to. But it’s awesome and has much more resonance and sustain. I think this is my go to tuning from now on. But I admit, I did tweak slightly after using your method. Haha I can’t help it!!! But you got me into an awesome sonic range which I didn’t believe could be achieved with 12, 14, & 16 inch toms

[@lewybody]

Nice! And your should-be-patented "Beatdown" Maximum Thumpification tutorial took my 24" wimpysound kick and turned it into Kickzilla. Thank you for your great tutorials!

[@thomasnappo6309]

YOU DA BESS.....ROB

[@SourGunProductions]

Talk less and super informative?! Yeah man, your content is awesome and is much appreciated. 🙏 x1000

[@JDDrumbeats]

🤣🤣🤣 Love the video !!! I imagine you making this video as if you were explaining it to a kid 😅

[@Rockin_Ross]

What are your recommendations for concert toms?

[@tmatheson54]

Nice Rob…. Stay tuned? Yep next up is Rob with the key!

[@trevorwarner1322]

Thank you.

[@joycefung2473]

What if the resonance side is mesh fabric??

[@Chiroman527]

Hey Rob, I notice you use coated Reso Heads? I never tried that.. That nice Doooo, Dooooo sounds for all my Toms (3 racks and 2 floor) generally alludes me. Or requires much tweaking.

[@menzerroku4708]

Thank you so much

[@jeffandlisamyers]

What snare are you using in the track that’s playing? It’s slammin’! Also, I’m getting tons of compliments on my ‘Groove Responsibly’ T. Thanks Rob!!

[@ScottyDrake]

Ya know what works instead of hand pressure? "Borrowing" one your wife's 8-pound weights. (I think they're kettle balls or kettle bells or something like that.)

[@webodrums3518]

Hey @Rob Brown thanks for posting these great videos they have helped me a lot since I watched them many years ago,However; ultimately I´m experimenting with white coated heads and is very difficult for me to see wrinkles in those heads any advice for this problem?

[@therussianguy728]

So even turning of the key doesn’t matter for all rods?

[@weezypeezy4366]

Will you be at NAMM this year ?!?

[@theradiantchild]

I have a difficult time seeing the wrinkles on coated heads. Any tips?

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Use your hand and feel em

[@theradiantchild]

​@@RobBeatdownBrownfloor tom the same way?

[@alessandrofontana71]

Love this magician style tom tuning vid, but hey! Where’s the 🐇

[@stefanrobert5233]

This video is not necessarily correct. Tuning this way may get you one sound, but there are several different sounds a tom can make. You may want to tune your tom to sound differently. This calls for you to tune your tom in a different way. You also have to think about the resonance. You may want your tom to resonate a certain way. This means you have to tune the resonance head differently.

[@slowporch]

A little fine tuning with a felt mallet after doing this works great.

[@Idk83738]

12 or 13 inch

[@dejulesb974]

What?? Huh, I guess if you want to tune it higher you would do it the old tap tap listen but this is a much faster low tom sound that I really like.

[@robb7565]

Love me sum “Stank Face”. 😡
