🎵 Drum Tech
1. The Criss-Cross Lug Star Tuning Pattern
Always turn drum key tension screws in an opposing star/cross pattern to ensure uniform head tension and clean harmonic pitch across all lugs.
2. Tuning Resonant Heads Higher than Batter Heads
Tuning resonant bottom drum heads 1/2 step higher than top batter heads yields maximum tone resonance and natural pitch decay!
