Tuning drums is a skill that can take a long time to develop, and it's a case of trial and error, experiments, and tinkering. There are many books and DVDs dedicated to this subject alone. We recommend checking out the DVD Drum Tuning by Bob Gatzen. If you would like to purchase a DrumDial, as seen in this video, you can buy one here.
