  • Question : Would you recommend this for tuning Tama drums?
    Answer : Yes, you can use this tool on any drum with lugs, tension rods, hoops, and a batter/reso drum head. It provides a baseline reading for tension, but you may need to adjust it based on personal preference and your specific drum. It is especially helpful for beginners or those who struggle with tuning by ear.
  • Question : Does it tune steel drums?
    Answer : No, this tool is not designed for tuning steel drums or pans.
  • Question : Can you use it for tuning congas and tumbales?
    Answer : While it may work for tuning timbales due to their similarities to wooden drums, its effectiveness on congas is uncertain. There have been no specific tests conducted on congas using this tuner.
  • Question : Can I use this if my drum head has a trigger and a bump?
    Answer : Yes, you should be able to use this tuner even if your drum head has a trigger and a bump. Just align the tuner close to both sides of the bump for accuracy.
  • Question : Can this be used to tune bass drums and snares?
    Answer : Yes, this tuner can be used to tune bass drums and snares. The tuning process is similar for all drums, and there are helpful videos on YouTube that explain the process and recommended tension for each drum.

    Answer : The recommended tension may vary depending on the dimensions of the congas, but it ultimately comes down to personal preference and what sounds best to you.
  • Question : Has anyone tried this on marching drums?
    Answer : Yes, this tuner has been used on marching drums, including a 26" marching bass drum. When using it on marching drums, it is recommended to tighten the lugs in a crossover pattern and to lift the tuner when repositioning to avoid scratching the drum heads.

Drumdial ADD Tuning Editorial Review

The DrumDial Drum Tuner is highly recommended by customers for tuning hand drums, Tabla sets, trap sets, Tama drums, snare drums made of metal, acrylic drum sets, hand-hammered copper, brass snare drums, and Evans Emad Kick heads. However, it may not be suitable for tuning congas and tumbales, as not much testing has been done on them. The tool provides baseline readings that are amendable by tuning the drum by ear, and YouTube is a useful resource to learn how to use it. Users speak of relief in not having to rely on someone else to tune their drums, and notice a Considerable difference in the drum's sound quality after tuning it.

Pros

  • Can be used with drums of various materials and brands
  • Can improve drum sound quality
  • Good for beginners needing baseline readings
  • Saves time tuning
  • Easy to use

Cons

  • May not work as well with congas and tumbales
  • Is not a tuner to pitch
  • Cannot be used on drums that do not have lugs, tension rods, and a batter/reso drum head
