The real help is getting the overall fundamental tone of the drum where I want it to have precise, pleasing intervals between drums. I can now easily lug-tune a head into tune myself, then fine tune with the app. The whole TuneBot concept (my app is similar) really does work well, and has helped me with my "ear" tuning. But, mine continues to work.there is simply no support or updates available). Yes! Thankfully, I have one of the iphone apps on my phone that, apparently, is "Grandfathered" in - the app still works, but the developer was forced to discontinue the app (apparently, that means he can no longer offer or sell the app. Now that I can find a spot I like, save that setting (so I can always come back to it with relative ease), and test out other tuning to explore other possibilities, I am really finding how much more versatile my one kit can be. If I got the drum in tune, I just moved on to the next one. Since I never knew that I could get these different effects on the sound by only using my ear, I never explored different tuning methods. Having the tune bot, and tinkering with the app on my phone, I am realizing that I can vary the sound my drums pretty drastically by adjusting the top and bottom head relative to each other.
Again, tuning to what you think sounds good gives you only a small spectrum of how a drum can be tuned. After attaching the tune bot I found out that my ears are pretty good/accurate to hearing the slight variations in frequencies, so hooray for that! However, my understanding of tuning is/was pretty minimal. I just tuned the drums to what I thought sounded good. For 20 years I have tuned by ear, but that doesn't mean I was good at tuning. I just picked up a tune bot last weekend.
