DTS - Drum Tuning System
Since the inception of ‘hoop and tension rod’ type acoustic drums, tuning has been a difficult and challenging task. In fact most drummers rarely achieve the quality of sound their drums have to offer. Drum Tech introduces the new DTS - Advanced Drum Tuning System, a major breakthrough in tuning. The DTS retrofits to most hoop and rod type acoustic drums, streamlining the entire tuning process. Once installed, turning individual tension rods is no longer necessary as the DTS allows each drumhead’s pitch to be raised or lowered via one adjustment while automatically maintaining even tension around the head. This "one-touch" approach allows drummers to play the drum while simultaneously adjusting the pitch of the top and bottom heads. Finally, the nightmare of tuning drums is over, because you no longer have to spend time balancing the tension around the head. Instead, you only spend your time changing the overall pitch of the head, which is actually tuning!
• Sweep Tuning •
"Sweep Tuning" is to quickly sweep the range of pitch of a drumhead while listening to the drum's sound change during tuning. This way your ear can hear and compare all of the variations in the sound instantly; like tuning a guitar. The pitch of the top & bottom head form a 2-note chord where all the rules of harmony exist (3rds, 5ths, etc.). When you land on one of these intervals (a sweet spot) the drum will sing, just like with a guitar. This is how most instruments work, and it is how you should tune drums! With the traditional way we've had to tune drums, this approach was not possible, and it is why getting them to sound good is so difficult. Now it's easy to get your drums to sound the way they were meant to sound, with the DTS - Advanced Drum Tuning System.
