Pinning isn't really a tuning technique. It's more of a "making a head sound the way you want it to" technique.




making the head sound the way you want it to... sounds like tuning to me

Im needing some help on tunings schemes, I don't know which ones to try out. I have a set of 6,8,10,12,13 and they are Pearl Championship drums. Also, what would be a good head choice to try out? Thanx

I would tune a major 3rd between 1-2 and 3-4, a minor third between 2-3, and the spock up until it clicks instead of having tone. But that's just me, and tuning the spock and keeping it tuned that way will decrease the life of the head.

We'll need to hold a séance to talk to someone that marched 'em.

Just kidding... I actually marched tri-toms my first season on marching drums! On the big ol' ancient tubs I had, I think the interval between each drum was pretty close to a major third. The tuning you'll use will depend on what kind/size your drums are. I think the tris I marched were 1970's Ludwigs, 12"-14"-16".

And just for reference, I've got a few years (or more) on most of the guys on these forums, but I'm not that old. When my junior high school started a marching line, we were playing on hand-me-down drums that were older than we were.

If you're looking for specific notes, a good rule of thumb is to always tune the #4 drum to B-flat, then follow the intervals AlabambaDrummer stated above. Also, the Spock is widely debated on whether or not it should be tuned or should click. Seeing as you're using quints, make it click. If you had a six-pack (tenors, not muscles), however, that's really when you should put tone on the spocks.
