I don't even play marching band why am I watching this?

Good job, Roger! This method is virtually identical to how I always installed and tuned our drums. The main difference was just how high to take the top head and how much, if any, muffling. My preference was to end similar to where Roger did in this video and use as little muffling as possible. Lee and Frankie liked lower. Most other corps went higher. Not in this vid is gut tuning which is another entire video on its own. Kevin Namaky Glassmen 96-01 member Glassmen 01-02 staff Magic 03 staff

MY TECH AND INDOOR DIRECTOR PLAGS VIBES IN THIS😁

When tuning drums, I never hear the overtones and I'm not sure why 😭

What app is he using?

This sounds more BD 1995, not sure the boxy sound of bluecoats these days

Fingerblasters Drum and Bugle Crops

The signature pulling the hair behind the ears he used to do… just letting the mane hang forward. Haha. Go Roger go. “Jesus” still has his hair…

way too much being technical on the tuning to notes, works good for a drum kit but not for out door shows. just my opinion, your video is very very good!!! im just being picky...lol cheers!

Love his teaching style and how meticulous he is.

Checking my ears: no difference in pitch across the resonant head? Both heads at same pitch?

Agreed, that drum sounds fantastic. 🎉 Annnnddd holy smokes at the end 🤩🤯

One of the snares is my drum line tech and he was a alumni at my school

I want one of these... But $1500 is too much for my blood 😮. Just wondering what they do with the ones after each seson???

I pretty sure Sean Vega showed Rodger a thing or two about tenors. They march BD back in the day. So hes doing fine...😊

What specific Evans heads are being used? Great video.

Just casually knocks vortex out like it’s nothing 😂 👌

I push on my heads because there is oil between the heads, so I want an even distribution of oil in the head. Specifically at 1:03 where he talks about pushing, I was taught and teach to push down gently to evenly distribute the oil within the head. If you don't evenly distribute the oil, the head could possibly not last as long or create a more lush sound, as the non-oiled parts of the head would restrict the sound coming from the head. Hope this helps to anyone who was confused by what he said.

Always good to see and hear other people's approach and philosophies! 👏🏾👏🏾 Good stuff Tama & Roger!

Sounds good!

I wish he actually played them

The precrimping was done way back when heads were set in glue. It was meant to sort of flex the head to test its durability because 50% of heads would pull out of the glue. Now, all heads are "crimplocked" in metal and there's really no reason to do that. Wish you would have finger tightned the heads before you start with the key (not bad for a snare drummer lol). I'd really like to see a tenor tuning tutorial done by Rennick's SCV staff. They really know how to do it.

Quad and bass video next?

Nice Roge

I put new heads on our schools Yamaha SFZ 14 in drums and they sound pingy when played. Is this normal? Every video I watch has that nice sound like he is producing in this video. I got the guts level. Do I just need to keep cranking? We kept the bottom heads on it and they’re a year old. Just a little hesitant to crank those up. Suggestions?

It take me like 2 weeks to have ny bottom heads sounding good. I use Remo Falams 2. Im curious if Evans bottom heads are built differently to tune up faster without pulling?

Tama makes Freaking beautiful drums

I didn't realize marching snares had advanced this much since I marched. I learned my "diaper" techniques from Roger years ago but these have them built in

bass tuning guide please?

Wish he did the snares. He didn't really go over that you should probably find a right tone with each snare strain.

This is a very educational video not only for concertist but also drummers who struggle getting the snare tension right! Thanks for sharing!

Now do the bass drums❤

No more lithium grease needed with these drums for longevity and ease of tuning later?

They’re putting bottom heads on concert toms? Innovative! 😂

Will this work with heads that have been cranked already but you re tune them like starting from scratch again but not with new heads?

Vortex as the cherry on top 🔥 🔥

Sure wish I had this video when I was marching tenors back in the late 80's! Especially the part towards the end with setting the tone spacing between drums. Thanks, Roger, you're a legend and I'm glad you're putting the same effort into teaching the next generation that you put into developing your own skill.

I spent a lot of time tuning my high school’s drums way back in the day, but I still learned new things about the snare side tuning in this video. Also, modern marching snare construction is SO MUCH better than back in the 1980’s, which was just lugs in shell. I love the dual-rim top and the bottom rim connecting up to the top (mid?) rim. I see Roger also did a tenor video-on to that next!

I thought you just cranked on em till it was like playing on a formica table top, no? For maximum speed and projection? Sounds great, btw. Tone for days.

Been waiting for his explanation forever!

love the shirt

The best drum tuning video I've ever seen

i might be trippin but dude close to center looks like he marched boston last year wtf is he doing

Wow. Roger is on fire and then the line joins him and they're on fire, too. Amazing performance all around!

Tasty

Yikes!!!!!!

This group is my standard for what a good wgi look & book is! Incredible

Roger is a beast

When you imagine "guy who plays drum". You, my friends, imagine Roger Carter...
