Tonal Character: Finding Your Tom Sound | Season Four, Episode 29
It’s pretty widely understood that there’s more than one way to tune a drum- even when tuning it to a particular pitch. Being able to alter the character of a drum’s tone without changing the overall pitch is a valuable skill for controlling sympathetic resonance, sustain, feel, and so much more. In this episode we demonstrate three different approaches for different sonic characteristics while maintaining the same overall pitch. 0:00 Intro 1:37 Long Sustain 4:48 Subtle Pitch Bend 7:25 Resonant but Short 9:22 Application & Summary 12:56 Wrap Up PATREON: This season is made possible by our Patreon supporters.
