    About the tuning of the drum kit, basic methods and techniques::

    1. Put the drum skin well, press the collapse circle, take the screws a little first, choose a screw as the starting point, first screw you set as the starting point and screw half a circle, then adjust the screw diagonally of the starting point, and then adjust the diagonal to the right, and then to the diagonal, and then to the right, and debug a little bit in this order.

    2. After making sure that the drum skin is tight, use the hammer head of your drumstick to tap the edge of the drum surface at each screw position in the clockwise direction to listen to whether the sound is the same, if the pitch is high, relax a little, and if the pitch is low, tighten it until the timbre is the same.

    3. Add a quilt to the drum, the purpose is to absorb sound, and the timbre of the kick drum is thicker, this method is advisable, but it is best if you can buy a sponge and stuff it in, because the sound absorption effect of the sponge is incomparable to the quilt.

    If you can't adjust the sense of layering, this has something to do with your hearing. If you listen accurately, you can tune it accurately, the timbre of any drum is tuned out, and only when you have a concept of timbre can you pick out the timbre you want.

    1.Starting from the kick drum, first place the kick drum on the ground, adjust the length of the kick leg so that the drum frame on the outside of the kick drum is off the ground 1 2.

    2.Next, after installing the pedal, first adjust the height of the drumstick, the drumstick hits the center of the drum skin, or a little higher than the center, the sound of the drum will be different, please adjust it as needed.

    3.Then adjust the angle at which the drumstick swings back, and when the pedal is relaxed, the drumstick does not touch the leg tube.

    4.Then adjust the tightness of the drumstick spring, this depends on personal habits, it is more effortless to adjust the looseness, but it will affect the speed, adjust too tightly and the feet will soon get tired, and you will have to try many times to find the elasticity you like.

    5.Next, adjust the position and height of the drum chair so that the knees are slightly lower than the hips when the heels are raised. But it varies from person to person, as long as it is effortless, fast, and easy and strong.

    6.The next step is to adjust the height of the snare drum, so that when the drummer's hands are lowered easily and naturally, the stick should be able to hit just the center of the snare drum.

    7.Once the position of the snare drum is determined, the position of the hi-hat can be determined, and the height of the snare drum can be adjusted after the position is determined, which is about the point that the drum stick can be flattened to the edge when hitting with the right hand.

    8.Then adjust the tom tom, based on the position of the drummer, and when you look at the drum surface with your eyes, you can see the center of the drum.

    The angle of the tom is based on the height of the drum stick about one height from the drum rim when the drum stick is played most naturally and easily on the drum surface.

    10.After the drum is ready, the cymbals are finally adjusted, and the position of the edge of the cymbals is based on the principle of not covering the tom tom, and the height is determined by the length and preference of each person's hand, but it is not necessary to erect the cymbals half a day high for the sake of visual beauty when hitting.
