iDrumTune Pro is the world’s most advanced, accurate and intelligent system for assisting and educating on drum tuning – used by thousands of drummers all over the world. Now with Drum Kit Designer feature and detailed online tutorials. Featured in Modern Drummer 'New and Notable' - July 2018 "an invaluable aid not only for drummers but also studio engineers and producers" - Sound on Sound Magazine "I can’t recommend this app highly enough ... for the money, it is indispensable. It's simple, accurate, looks good, and the tuning information is worth the cost of the app alone." - www.mikedolbear.com “***** I never knew I could have this much fun tuning drums!” – Adamrod (App Store review) “***** Just tuned my first drum and this app is awesome!” – bburt85 (App Store review) “***** Buy this app if you are a drummer!!!” Lildrummerboy (App Store review) The original and most innovative electronic drum tuning app - iDrumTune Pro brings unrivalled accuracy and features that have never been possible before for assisting with drum tuning. Built by world experts in drums and musical acoustics, and backed up by a detailed online training course on Drum Sound and Drum Tuning. iDrumTune Pro includes the following features: * Pitch Tuning – to make your drums sing and allow you to play musical phrases around the kit * Lug Tuning – to ensure that the drumhead is evenly tuned and gives a smooth and warm tone * Resonant Head Tuning – to allow you to be sure that the two heads are working together and giving rich overtones * Spectrum Analyzer – so you can really start to understand what frequencies are excited and heard when playing the drums * Drum Kit Presets – so you can save and load your favourite tunings and share them with the world. Now also includes the interactive Drum Kit Designer feature. * The Science of Drum Tuning – and extensive manual on the science and art of drum tuning and getting the best out of iDrumTune Pro iDrumTune is the first and by far the most intelligent and accurate system for analyzing drum sounds and assisting tuning – developed by drummers, music producers and acoustics research Professors. iDrumTune provides you with a measurement of the drumhead vibration frequency, much in the same way to an acoustic guitar tuner which measures the vibration frequency of a guitar string. In Pitch Tuning mode, you simply hold the iPhone over the center of a drum, about 2-4 inches away, and strike the drum in the center. The iDrumTune readout shows the recorded sound waveform and gives the strongest frequency recorded. There is also a tuning indicator bar which shows the drumhead tuning relative to musical notes, so iDrumTune can be used to ensure that your drums are in key with each other or the song you are playing. A frequency spectrum view also allows more detailed analysis and helps with tuning the drum at the lug positions. iDrumTune provides advanced tuning features including an intelligent filter function, Lug Tuning mode and Resonant Head Tuning mode. The filter allows unwanted frequencies to be ignored by the analysis algorithm, whilst Lug Tuning mode offers the simplest and most innovative method for tuning an even frequency response at the lug positions on the drumhead. The Preset Manager allows you to save all your favourite drum tunings and call them up when you are in the middle of the process. Drum kits can also be exported and imported, so you can share your favorite tuning setups and load new ones in from other drummers. Drum Tuning isn’t easy, and drums don’t respond exactly the same way every time you hit them. For that reason, it's valuable to know a little about the science of drum tuning. iDrumTune includes a comprehensive text on the science of drums and drum tuning in order to help you get the best of iDrumTune and to become an expert drum tuner!

    Microphone stays on after app is closed.
    Nice app and have used it for a few years. After the latest update I noticed the microphone stays on after closing this app and crashes another tuning app I have on my phone. When I shut this one down and open the other app that also uses the mic I have to go into settings and manually turn the access off in the Privacy settings. Other than that its a great app for tuning. The individual lug tuning is a little sensitive an can wind up chasing your tail but if you get it within a couple of hz your fine. Show more

    Don’t waste your money.
    Does not work.

    Overly complicated
    I can’t figure this thing out. I’ve watched some tutorials and I need much less talk and more “how to” demonstrating how to use this thing. I wish it had presets for different famous drum sounds, such as John Bonham. Or at least give me the pitch readings for resonant and batter heads for his sound. Show more

    Tuning drums
    Don’t waste your money in this app. I prefer by ear. I’m professional drummer for 42 years and always wants to try it a new stuff.

    A very honest review
    I recently transitioned from electronic kits to acoustic and this app has really helped me understand the science of tuning. You can really hear the difference when the lugs’ frequencies are consistent. There are times I am getting inconsistent readings like others have mentioned. But those instances seem to be one offs and maybe based on phone placement or inconsistent hits. If you gather a few readings, you can quickly see if there’s a random bad reading. It’s like a guitar tuner… if you strum the note differently or too hard or accidentally hit another string, you can sometimes get different results. So just be consistent in your placements and hits. I have been experiencing crashes like others. Also sometimes the app stops reading if I’m bouncing back and forth from other apps (like watching their tutorials on YouTube, which I need to do a lot), and will need to reboot the app. I don’t really appreciate the developer’s defensive responses claiming it’s super stable, it’s clearly not if there are this many users having issues. The UX needs a MAJOR update. The app isn’t very intuitive and is really working against the user and not with the user. Things are hidden or require very cumbersome interactions (like tapping a small right arrow instead of swiping). I understand not all developers are designers but its something that shouldn’t be overlooked. I’d suggest putting yourself in the mindset of users that have never used your app and maybe have a limited knowledge of tuning by frequency. It shouldn’t be required to email your team or search for videos on YouTube to learn how to use or navigate the app. I think with an $8 price tag, users expect a certain amount of polish, and this app is lacking that. All that said I think there’s a ton of potential here and it’s been genuinely fun using this app to tweak my heads in pursuit of the perfect frequency. Show more

    Frustrated
    Went through the tutorials, then used app only to be denied because it freezes or ceases to function or drops off site completely. I know it’s better than this, have used it before, just not as intently as now. Did all the hoops trying to figure it out, maybe owner will see this and help? I’m disappointed since I know at least once it was the best one out there. Show more

    Horrible app
    This app is horrible so frustrating and not accurate at all
  • Prog Lives, 24.06.2022
    Excellent App
    So easy to use! Both narrative and video instructions for each step. Once I dialed in the resonant heads properly, I couldn’t believe the difference. Best App I’ve ever bought, and creator answers emails! Show more

    Terrible
    Thought I was downloading Drum Tune Pro..Real nice making your app name almost identical to a far superior app. This is unintuitive inconsistent trash.If you have to go on an online tutorial hunt just to operate an app for a concept this straightforward, you have an abysmal development failure on your hands. This is app is trash and the name is deceitful and I’m going to guess, intentionally so. Show more
