All,
I am curious and I believe there are 2 camps of people. One who tune to notes and one who tune to their ears.
How many people actually tune their snare and toms to a note ? A, D#, E, for example.
I believe the purists do and some more so than the others. Do you ?
One of the technical reasons why people want to (or should) do this is to reduce the sypathetic pitch problem that happens when you tune your toms (high-tom, in particular) to be close or the same note to that of the snare and what happens is the usual unwanted snare vibration. (I wish I had paid more attention in physics class ). I am not referring to snare resonance or ringiness. That is a different thing altogether.
For those people in this category, toms are usually quite subjective BUT most people do tune their snares to a note. Another question I have is: What note do you usually tune your snare to ?
I tend to tune my snare to A. What about you guys ?
