Drum Tuning:a Comprehensive Guide to Tuning Drums 2nd edition

Updated in 2012 this highly acclaimed book Drum Tuning is an in-depth guide to tuning drums. It is written in an easy-to-read basic format that can benefit every drummer from beginner to pro. Endorsed by many of the top pro drummers, including Mitch Mitchell (drummer with Jimi Hendrix Experience), Kenny Aronoff, Carmine Appice and Hal Blaine. Drummers of all ages and levels can benefit by reading this book. The First Edition was written in 1988 and was a breakthrough for the drumming community since there was nothing like it at the time. Since then many people have used this information to help them understand how to get the sound they want from their own drums.

In 1989 Larry Nolly wrote and edited excepts of this book for Modern Drummer. And the article was listed on the front cover. This book is the real deal, originally published long before personal computers at home were the norm. In the late 1990's, when home computers became more common, many people used the information from this book to promote their "own" style of tuning on the web. Claims that this information is widely available on the internet are true because there have been so many incidents of people copying and paraphrasing from Drum Tuning. Make no mistake - this is the original! This is the one that many pros use and have endorsed.

Just as guitar and bass players need to learn how to tune their instruments, drummers should also learn how to tune their drums. And not just tune them, but they should learn how to get the sound they want out of them. That's what this book is all about.
