When trying to tune the batter head of a floor tom try to do it in its natural environment. I like deep booming sounding toms that cut.

I ve been tuning my toms all day and for some reason i can t get the sound i want. I know my drumming room isn t a acoustic heaven but i can t get a good sound. Then you can determine a tuning scheme using notes. A standard five piece drum set for example features one floor tom next to the snare and two rack toms above it.

When tuning most toms you ll find a level where the head will sound warm and bright across its surface. First you must determine where each tom sounds best. Never force a drum to play a note out of its best range or you will have an uneven so. A floor tom or low tom is a double headed tom tom drum which usually stands on the floor on three legs however they can also be attached to a cymbal stand with a drum clamp or supported by a rim mount it is a cylindrical drum without snare wires and tend to produce a booming resonant sound which can vary in pitch.

Right now i m getting a somewhat flat sound with not a lot of attack. If you re lucky you could come across this at one or two levels. I ve been tuning the top head tighter than the bottom which usually works for me. Hopefully this helps here s the most important thing.

As stated tom toms are the support drums you add to your kit. Some kits have more and others have less any number of tom toms in any size can be added to any any kit it s just a matter of the player deciding what they need. 4ply maple 2 outer ply lacebark pine 5mm bass drum. 6ply 5mm bass drum.
