I agree... 8+ hours a day and you will get there... The younger you start the quicker you will get there. kids pick stuff up quick!!!

Originally posted by Lysakoski It's cool, you go tan some people and I'll play drums for a living. Bye. You have been by far the most intertaning person I have chatted with in a real long time... You got any clips of your band or bands... I would love to hear it... Do you know how many chicks come in and tan in a day??? Lots of eye candy.. LOL I also farm which provides much of the world with rice and soy bean... NE arkansas is one of the largest producers of rice in the world.. YOu got a myspace or some clips??? Would love to hear your stuff. onehourburn

Originally posted by Lysakoski Go blow your load "jamming" with your gothic buddies. Dude you have no clue!!! I am 25 years old and play for fun... I own two business one being a tanning solon and the other being a 300 acre rice/soybean farm... You had nothing but jackass comment from the start and I called you out on it... You keep proving to me that I am not wrong... onehourburn

Originally posted by Kozmo IF you had a drum/music store close to you I would suggest taking the drums to them and pay/bribe someone who knows how, to tune them for you. Given that you are in the country, find a drummer and buy them a beer and have them come over to tune them for you. You will learn a lot from watching them, and you may also learn what to listen for. Its all about listening and playing with it until you start to understand, In other words, call in a ringer! LOL I have a few problems... I live in a dry county so buying beer is not a option.. No bars in my area either cause of the dry county... 30 miles to the closest music store and they suck.... I am trying my best... Its alot better than befor... I think my local high school's band teacher is a drummer... I think I will hit him up and see what he can do... Other than that I have no one... Thanks a million... At lest I can still use the torque key as a tunning key.... Man an expensive tunning key... LOL It does help me get in the right area but I can see it needing a lot more to be right.... onehourburn

Originally posted by Lysakoski You obviously haven't because you've used the fucking thing! And you think your drums sound good when you can't even tell by ear alone! Irony, come on in. Never mind, I give up. Go blow your load "jamming" with your gothic buddies. You, a guitarist, stride into a drum forum proclaiming you know better than people who play drums every day of their lives - good luck to you. Send me a PM when you do your first world tour. All you are doing is proving my statement about a piss poor atitude.. I cant help that I dont have an ear for the percusions and that I dont know anyone that does... I never said they sound good just better than befor... I used the patern that they gave me... Just telling me the torque tuner sucks and nothing else is not helping... everyone else had something constructive to say... Show me one time that I clamed to be better than you... I said I did not now shit from the start... Its obvius you are a jack ass but I am stuck at work for 10 hours a day and like the intertanment you provide. onehourburn

OK I thanks you guys!!! I used the torque key on them and it sounds way better than befor... I also am going to try to lern the methods you have given me... It all fun!!! I just want a decent set so peeps can come jam with me... onehourburn

Originally posted by Old Steve Exactly. In addition, minor variations between lugs (one thread is lubed better than the another, one rod is ever-so-slightly bent, etc.) will also throw the "number" thing out. Finally, if memory serves (my Evans torque key is also sitting in the bottom of some "unused" pile at the moment) the torque setting can be rotated several times before it's set. So "6" or "4" or whatever doesn't account for how many times the torque dial has been fully rotated. If you don't want to take the time to learn to tune, or read the drum tuning bible, do the following to get a 'close' tuning: 1.) put the head on the drum. 2.) use your fingers to tighten the lugs until they're just touching the hoop. 3.) Tighten each lug 2 or 3 turns...be sure to never go directly from one lug to the next...always skip lugs or work back and forth across the drum so that the head tunes evenly. 4.) Now, tap the head at each lug about 1"- 2" in from the rim. Find the lug with the highest note and tune the rest to that pitch. Now the head's in tune. 5.) If you want the head higher, tune all the lugs (doing the alternating lug thing) up a half turn at a time until you get what you want. If you want the head lower, tune all the lugs down 3/4 of a turn and back up 1/4 of a turn (net -1/2 turn...always tune "up") until you get the pitch you want. 6.) follow the same procedure on the bottom heads and try to match the tension of the top heads. Seriously, this "basic" tuning isn't that hard to do and will give you better results than a torque key ever could. Thanks you soo much... I have read these same directions befor... Or atlest I do know the tunning pattern... As far as tapping on the drum near the pegs I cant tell a differance... LOL Thanks!! onehourburn
