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!

TuneKit is a drum tuner for players who want faster, more repeatable tuning with nothing but an iPhone. Use Live Mode to capture the pitch of a single hit, see the frequency in Hz, identify the nearest note, and compare each strike against a manual target. When you already have a drum where you want it, you can also turn the current reading into your target with one tap. Switch to Lug Match to work around the drum one tension rod at a time. TuneKit records each lug, uses lug 1 or your manual target as the reference, and shows how far each point is from the reference in cents so you can even out the head with confidence. Features: - Live pitch detection built for drum strikes - Large locked Hz readout with nearest-note display - Manual target entry for matching a specific pitch - One-tap set target from the current reading - Lug Match mode for 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-lug drums - Progress, reference, average, and spread feedback for each pass - On-device processing with no account required - No audio recording, storage, or upload TuneKit is built for drummers, drum techs, rehearsal spaces, and practice rooms that need a fast, focused tuning tool without extra hardware or setup.
