Drum Tuning Workshop
March 19
Ages: All ages
Time: 1pm
$10.00
Drum Tuning Workshop with HMFs drum instructors, Rick Cline, Matt Decker, and Daniel Reece.
Learn how to tune drums using different types of heads, the anatomy of a drum, the theory behind tuning, and differences between types and brands of drum heads. Drum tuning is an art that can be difficult for even the most experienced of players. But the importance of tuning can’t be overstated. Even the lowest quality drums can sound 100% better with new heads that are well tuned and dampened. It’s so much more satisfying to play a drum-set that sounds amazing and will make you want to play to practice them more.
If you plan on getting your drum set privately tuned at the workshop, we strongly encourage you to purchase your heads, Moongels, Drum Dots, or any other gel drumhead dampeners at Larry’s Music for a special HMF rate.
