![]() The “probe” is under the pressure of a spring causing it to push down a microscopic distance below the base. ![]() Simply put, a needle displays the difference in height between the base of the device, and the tip of a “probe”. Another tempting comparison is “torque gauges” that measure the tension applied on the tension rods. The Drum Dial however gauges the tension of the drum head itself. At least not in the common sense of the word, as the term “tuner” is usually used to describe a device that fundamentally measures frequency. It’s tempting to compare it to a tuner although it’s not. What is the DrumDial? Digital DrumDial The “Probe”Īs mentioned earlier, the DrumDial doesn’t fit into any existing segment of products. Not so much a purist that I’m prejudiced against technology, but enough that I may be a bit suspicious or “leery”. Especially with acoustic drums as they are a traditional instrument. Meaning I have a predisposition to do things in a traditional manner. As with everyone patience varies with mood and state of mind, some days I can do a better job of tuning than others as patience plays a large role in the success rate of tuning a set of drums.Īlso let me share with you that I’m a bit of a purist. Commonly people ask me if I can wring something that resembles a passable tone from drums otherwise referred to as hopeless. There are still lots of folks that I can learn from but I would probably put myself in the top 30% in respect to my ability to tune drums. I do however believe I’m a fairly skilled tuner of drums and posses a fairly good comprehension of pitch, or as more commonly referred to as “ear”. My level of drumming competence is probably in the lowest 10% of people who call themselves drummers. In order to understand my perspective on this DrumDial Review it would help to first provide some background on the reviewer. I believe I’ve identified a format for this article though that will make it informative and hopefully a useful resource for you to make your own decision whether you could benefit from such a device. The DrumDial doesn’t really fit in a product segment to compare with. Not because of the type of product reviewed, but rather because I don’t have anything to compare it with, (or against.) Most of the time when writing a review, being able to compare the product reviewed against some form of baseline aids in keeping the review as objective as possible. This is one of the more difficult reviews for me to write. ![]()
