App is bad, science is good

This app really is not for drummers. The interface was designed by a PhD to teach theory—not to actually tune a real world drum kit. Even when you create your own drum kit the interface doesn’t really provide anything more than just a list of your drums and what’s listed doesn’t even interface with the actual tuning mechanisms, and doesn’t even consider tuning a top and bottom head differently. You can use the tools to tune each drum head top and bottom differently but this app doesn’t assist you— it just gives you access to the tools and you would have to decide how to do that.

Everything about the app is just awkward. I just wish the owner would’ve teamed up with some drummers that had a lot of experience developing interfaces for applications.

This app should have two buttons when it starts Standard Mode and Advanced Mode. Standard mode you would create your drum kit and all of the tunings would then be activated from each drum on your kit. From there the app should make some recommendations based on your style of music. Then you would click on one drum at a time and it would walk you through the tuning process using the different tools, starting with the top or the bottom head.

Bottom line, the science is there, the app is not.

Response from developer

Hi there, we've spent the last 12 months developing a much improved user interface and built-in guides to help you learn interactively about drum tuning and using the app. This new version launched TODAY (Sept 15th 2026). Please go and download the new free upgrade and check out all of the features. There is still the drum kit designer, presets and all the user guide info you'll need to get started with the app. Our detailed Learn Drum Tuning course is all linked in the app too. It takes time, start at the beginning with the course and you'll start to understand drum acoustics and become proficient with the app, and you'll improve your hearing skills at the same time too. There is some bad science out there on the internet, for example, the two drumheads work together to create the pitch of the drum, they are coupled and cannot be tuned independently, they ALWAYS influence each other. This makes it challenging to tune the resonant head, there's no easy fix, but if you follow the tutorial on the resonant drumhead, you'll, start to learn how drum acoustics work in reality and you'll begin to take control. Don't forget, you can always email us for help, and we'll get you up and running with the app in no time at all.

需要中文!

软件非常好用,但是没有中文,根本看不懂使用说明和功能,只能在网上搜索相关的中文翻译使用的方法,强烈建议开发商加上中文!求求了!

🙏🙏🙏

Awesome app

I love this app. I also highly recommend the app developers book - drum sound and drum tuning by Rob Toulson. This tool and book long overdue.

Response from developer

🙏🙏🙏 many thanks for posting a review, it’s very much appreciated. Happy tuning to you!

Don’t buy this

Not intuitive at all. Not even a trial. Waste of money.

No use for congas

Great tuner. I was struggling to tune my congas for first couple of hours before I realised my hand’s proximity to the mic on my iPhone was affecting the reading. Hold with phone’s mic unobstructed and near lug and it works great 😊

Response from developer

Hi, thank for posting your review! Yes the app works great with congas, but yes, it's worth experimenting a bit to see which mic positions give the clearest readings for you.
