Like tuning by ear, apply tension with care. • Use common sense & trust your drummer instinct to never overtighten. Too much tension can snap drumheads, especially thin snare reso heads. • Start at medium snare-reso tension first and increase gradually so the high pitch tracks accurately within range. • When in doubt, or when overshooting the range chasing a pitch, return to medium tension. ► Tune smart, play hard, and trust Drumtune PRO to keep you sounding your best, every session!
