Tune Bot Studio Drum Tuner with Tommy Rickard

[Music] it is comedy Ricard I'm here to introduce the new tune bot studio it has all the features of the original tune but plus a new saving system a higher range mode and a handy hardshell case the first thing we're going to do is measure the fundamental pitch what is the fundamental pitch the fundamental pitch is the lowest and allowed as pitch through your drum produces it is the main page that you hear when you hit your drum to measure the fundamental pitch of the drum place the drum on a stand or hold it in your hands so bolt heads are free to vibrate click the tuner to the hoop of the drum turn the power on by hitting the red button on the tuner and strike the drum in the center so a fundamental pitch is 105 Hertz as we can see on the main display and the bottom right corner we can see that the note is G sharp for the second octave and a dial in the center is showing that we were a little bit sharp of that note and in addition to measuring the fundamental pitch the tune bot studio can measure the picture of each lug individually allowing you to get the drum in tune with itself so we're measuring the lug pitch you should mute the opposite head in order to achieve this I find it best to place the drum on a drum throne so to give the lug pitch tap an inch in from each lug we want to get all lugs within 2 Hertz of each other so an easy way to match the lug pitches is to use a difference mode and the difference mode is this little triangle button here on the bottom left and we are going to use this lug as a reference pitch since this is now our reference pitch this is now our zero now when hit these other lugs we're going to find out whether we're too high or too low so this one's obviously too low so I need to bring this up a little bit of time it's pretty sensitive so don't overdo it closer so there you go this one's at zero now repeat for every lug and remember you don't have to get every one of these tuned to exactly zero if you're tuning another drum or another head you need to get the difference mode again to go back to absolute mode another feature of the studio is the filter mode the filter mode can be useful if you're having problems with incorrect readings or if you'd like to tune the drum while mounted on a stand so with the filter mode engaged you won't pick up readings that are outside of the pitch range and remember if you want to tune a different drum or a different drum head you need to turn off the filter mode to Bucks studio also has a great new saving system the K the drum and the head buttons are used for saving and recalling saved tunings you have five kids with up to ten drums in each kit with top head bottom head and fundamental pitch for each drum pressing kit switches between kits one through five pressing drum switches between drums 0 through 9 and pressing head switches between top bottom and fundamental to save hold the drum button for 2 seconds to recall the save tuning simply access the save slot and the saved tuning will show up in the bottom right of the display another new feature of the twinbots studio is the high range mode normally the tuner would only have a range of up to 400 Hertz you may find an instance where you need to turn even higher than that small drum our standard room perhaps in high range mode you can turn up to 450 Hertz so to enter in the higher range mode hold the filter button down for 2 seconds hey thanks for watching hope you enjoy here a couple clips of a session I just did we did use the tune but on this session and it was amazing and drums kinda great rebuilt for a big fat punchy warm sound and I think we W ok [Music] you
