Very true (rookie drummer here). I find de-tuning also important, for example to obtain a fatter sound by having tuning pegs set in a slightly different way in order to create more harmonics and also dampening the natural resonance and reduce sustain. This is highly subjective though, as many drummers probably would aim to longer sustain and perfectly tuned pieces.
- davexunit 3y agoYeah sometimes detuning one tension rod makes for a cool sound. My rough tuning pass is to crank the snare and tighten everything else until it just starts to resonate. Fine adjustments from there.
