I watched this when I first started playing in the 80’s and it was very confusing to me as a new player. I recently watched this again and wished I could have understood it back then. It’s a fantastic and informational education on all things drums.
My first instructional VHS. Thanks for the upload. Had to put fresh heads on Gatzen's kit when I was at Berklee for a clinic of his. .. I was so nervous..
I just see this video, recomanded by one of my fav’s drummers Gavin Harrison, now i see Bob died last december, RIP, this video explaine a lot about tuning, thanks for that.
Based on all the recent A/B analysis I’ve seen on RUclips regarding bass drum single ply vs. double ply heads, I’ve observed the opposite of what this video says: single ply = more attack and less woofy low end and double ply = less attack and more woofy low end
RIP Mr Gatzen. Wisdom and knowledge on the Drums. Thanks for everything!
Rest in peace, Bob.
RIP
I‘ve allways been an fan of your wisdom and your videos.

I found this video on Google videos pre RUclips like 20 years ago. I still use these techniques today. I’m so glad I found it again.

This opened my eyes about tuning when it came out back in the late 90s. Worth checking out.
Need to put new heads right across the kit this weekend. Thank you Bob. Truly great advice and technique. Thanks from Oz

I have this VHS, the cover says it's produced in 1994.
It also displays so in the last seconds of the video :-)
Yes it’s in the 90’s. Bob still owned Creative Music and I remember when this tutorial was being filmed.
