What reference musical notes do you tune your drums ?

[shk]

Hi,

just like to find out those who tune their drums with musical notes, which combination do you choose and any suggestion for a 10"(small), 12" (mid) and 14" (floor) toms and snares ?

well im not the greatest tuner so i just tune mine to what ever sounds nice rather than notes
i generally tune "slightly" lower than normal as im more into rock drumming

I don't know man.
I THINK majority drummers here tune their drums according to how they would like their drums to sound like, without following any particular tone. Especially the snare part, it's that individual preference thingy.

hm, i've always thought drums were tuned to F/c/a/f (snare/hightom/lowtom/floortom) give or take a semitone, for a rock-sized (not fusion) kit. then again this is only for the times i can hear the drums clearly, and i've not read the drum tuning bible yet (lack of patience haha), so, gotta take alot of salt with this one maybe.
