Overall I love this tuner. It’s convenient because it’s an app for your phone and if you’re anything like me, the farthest it gets from me is the nightstand. It’s always on me, so when I need to tune a new head back to the same tuning I don’t have to remember where I put it last. It’s right there in my pocket. It has tools in it that help tune both the fundamental tone and the tone at each tension rod. Also, you can make up your own drum kit and customize it from what it was tuned at to what kind and brand drum heads you use to your brand of kit you play. It helps you tune to intervals between your drums as well. My only gripe is between the offered videos and the manual, it doesn’t cover what certain things are or how to use different operations. I figured most of it out after viewing everything and putting the pieces together, but I would still like to see a much more in depth manual. Again, overall I think this is a great tuning app. I found that using a mallet works best. Show more

i paid money for this app and at first it was great but now it’s been months and app just got all buggy and it never got fixed i downloaded it again and now it won’t even open Show more

I have had a lot of success using this app to tune my drums. I’m a fairly decent at tuning drums and I know what sounds good but this app has shown me where my skills break down. It has made my tuning significantly more consistent for each drum itself and the intervals between drums. It can be a bit finicky with fine tuning each lug but patience and persistence provide excellent results. I think the kit / my drums organization could be improved and it does take some work to understand how the app works so 4/5. Show more

Crashes anytime you attempt to use the tuner. Most times you can’t even open the app for the other features.

I was a little skeptical that this would actually work well, but considering a good drum tuner is close to $100 I figured it was worth a try. I’m glad I did. Solid app and it really does a great job. Occasionally, it might have a weird reading but it’s really not an issue. Show more

I would love to get a legitimate review for this app, but I can’t even open it. So for that I’m giving it one stars because I don’t even know what it will or will not do. Show more

I really like this app. I use a Drum Dial to get my lugs evenly tensioned then use the app to get the heads in tune. I’ve gotten compliments from drummers and sound guys alike about how good my kit sounds. And I don’t have a super expensive kit. Time, effort and good heads will get you a great sounding kit at most price points. This app helps big time! Show more

This app doesn’t work. My drums never sounded worse. I’m mad that I wasted $12 on this. I followed every step and every video. It reads the Hz inconsistently. With a 32nd of a turn, the pitch the app hears can go from -13 to + 35. Even if you do get every lug with in .5hz the heads are still way out of tune. The fundamental notes in correct. Don’t waste your money like I did Show more

Before you say anything I followed the instruction and I have used my friends phone before(and it worked that time) so this is not a user error. I have a old iPhone6 and this app does not work at all on the phone. I purposefully tune one lug to the highest it can get and tune another lug completely loose. Even my tonedead drummer ear can still tell those two are not the same but the app keeps telling me that it is. I can even feel the unequal tension with my hand on the drum head but the app still tells me that those two lugs sounds the same. A bit disappointing since I know the app works but it seems it does not support iPhone 6. Show more

I never leave reviews. But the app works great lots of kool features and easy to use. Had a little issues at first. But turned out to just be me. But the app creator helped me out. Hes super friendly knowledgeable and replys fast. So great customer service also as a added bonus Show more

Like the subject line says… $8 and i can’t use it

This is one of the most excellent tools a drummer could come across, even if you are only getting to know your drums you will instantly learn the fundamental frequency range of each of your toms, as well as the correlating musical note(s), sound engineers love it when you walk in with a kit and can communicate like this (if they have the time, LOL). You can also send your resonant head frequencies to someone who may tune your kit b4 you get to where you are going. I sent one of my non-drummer friends some fundamental freqs to tune a kit he just purchased for his space, then told him to download the app and how to use it. The next day he sent a video of his kit sounding good enough for any drummer to play on it. -My only complaint is it wasn’t available when I was a kid….but neither were cell phones, LOL! Thanks for this! Dave Weidenhoffer Show more

I have both a drum dial and tune-bot. Add this app and oh my I have this old Ludwig accent kit with less desirable shells sounding like it’s dw grade lol. Really tho great app. And thanks for making the process of understanding the fine art of drum tuning. Show more

My experience is that it never really reads correctly. For example its reading in 100hz and then randomly goes to 253hz or goes way too much down

Information on the app is somewhat useful but the actual tuning functions are garbage. VERY inconsistent, tap/hit on the drum head 4 times and you may get up to 4 different readings. Show more

I installed this on my phone about a year ago and am really happy with it. It works as advertised and is extremely accurate. I use it all the time, especially the frequency function to find and match pitches of the heads and fundamentals. Very useful tool to help quantify where your drums are tuned at via frequencies, making it easy to replicate the tuning. Great app!! Thank you!! Show more

Love the update! NOTHING available on the market, not even the $100 tune-bot does what this does for $10. Zero complaints. Thanks fella. The app interface is not only designed well, it also works - really well. With the inclusion of the major (and minor) drum companies alongside actual name brand heads you have an incredibly powerful tool. I NEED you to keep this alive sir!! Also - your “DrumtunerEZ” aside from needing an update, is a go to app for a quick peek into my batter head’s attitude regularly so yeah - awesome too. Ty. Show more

It doesn't work after the update. What's wrong with you?

As a studio owner (not a drummer), this app has enabled me to have consistently great sounding drums from session to session. I love being able too save kits. I also love being able to adjust tuning on the fly to better fit a song. I reached out to Bram when I had a question, and he returned me email quickly and was really helpful. Show more

This app is exceptional at getting a precise note from the drums! My drums have never sounded better! I especially like the piano keys used to tune the drums! Thanks so much! Show more
