That's something hard to teach online. But since we have members all over Singapore, if you don't mind sharing your location, one of the brothers or sisters here may be able to drop by to help you in person.

Also, it will help if you can share about what drums you have, and the heads/skins that are on it.

Here's a simple guide: Pearl Drums: Education: How To

A more in-depth one: Drum Tuning Bible

Its called the drum dial Drumdial Inc. featuring drum tuning, drum triggers, triggers, electronic drums, electronic drum triggers

Peter Erskine endorses that....but even then, he said it is only good for fast tunes....finer tuning is still often required....the only way to get good at tuning is to do it loads...! Experiment, experiment and experiment....
