• Takes forever / very finicky and difficult

  Gave it another honest try because of the you-tube recommendations. Just couldn't get it tune the drums very quickly or very well. I tried it on a drum with perfect hoops and edges. It took awhile, but I was able to "force tune" the drum to a note from the online instruction book. I then tried it on a known bad drum (low spots in the bearing edges) for a real test to see how it would react to real world use and see if it could find the bad spots. It couldn't. I tuned the drum to the right frequency 218 hz (confusing... so many to choose from) at the edge of the drum, but the drum sounded damped and out of tune (drum went out of tune faster than it took to tune it). The tune bot said the drum was in tune, but it obviously didn't sound in tune (because of the bad edges?). Be careful with this one, very expensive. I have trouble recommending this one.

  All I can say is this changed my drum sound and drumming for the better! It is super easy to use and my drums sound MINT now. Don't listen to any of the negative reviews. If you can't use this device then there is something wrong with you. You just attach it to the hoop clamp and tap about one inch from each lug nut and a number comes right up on the screen. It even comes with a pamphlet giving you recommended tuning numbers. I was a little annoyed that it just came with numbers for the toms and kick drum, but not the snare drum. Then I noticed it has link to their web site on the bottom of the pamphlet giving you direct access to all the drums and all the numbers for each style of play. This thankfully included the snare drum numbers that I was looking for. I give this device 5 out of 5 stars. Just make sure you hold your hand or put a towel on the bottom head, or which ever head you are not tuning. This way it will just hear the head you are tuning and not the other head vibrating. That's why some people are having a problem cause they are not muting the other head on the other side. Great product and my kit sounds incredible now!!

  My guitarist repeatedly told me that the drums sounded great. It was like they came to life after many years of not being tuned properly.
