Drum Tuning Diagrams
Use your drum key to tighten the lugs in the following order. Apply equal amounts of tension to each lug, tightening only about 3 to 4 turns per lug, repeating the pattern until satisfactory tuning is achieved. A drum doesn’t need to be tuned to a specific pitch. The larger the drum, the lower the pitch.
Good luck and happy drumming!
