Tune-Bot Drum Tuner & RTOM AMGC Moongel - Clear (Pack of 6)

Super easy to use, and great as a reference tool. Used this on a large number of kits, to good success, but I still value my ears so use this more as a reference tool. Really good for tuning on busy festival stages when other bands are playing, you can dial up a good tone pretty quick.

Beginner so I tried to follow YouTube clips on how to tune the drums. Having watched a demo of the Tune-Bot I was convinced and I now have a much better sounding kit. My efforts with the snare and bass drum were way off. It’s easy to use just watch a demo on YouTube. It does have online instructions to help you tune your kit depending on drum sizes.

Bought this as previously I could tune ok-ish, but not great, and time-pressures meant I don't have the time to dedicate getting my Mapex Saturn V to sound as good as it should.Simple-to-use; though I'd recommend following YouTube how-to videos, rather than the supplied manual.The suggested tuning (via the free Tune Bot app) got me pretty close, but where the Tune Bot really excels was in letting you fine-tune your kit.An example:Using the app, and the general consensus the Saturn's favour a low-tuning, I used the app to give me the tunings for my 4 toms at -1 pitch, with not-quite full resonance.Tuned the entire set pretty quickly and it sounded mostly fine, and definitely in tune with itself, but the 10" sounded off to my ear, despite registering clearly as the suggested C#.Jump back to the app, select the 10" drum with a fundamental note of C# but this time increased the resonance some. This lead to a looser batter head, and tighter reso, still on a C#, but a much nicer sounding tom (the heads were now a third, not fourth apart).I then repeated this for the 16" floor tom; kept the same note but shortened the resonance to get more thud.This could've been done without the Tune Bot, but it would've taken me ages.Added bonus is you can then save your settings you're happy with, and re-tune straight away, either pre-gig or with new heads. I personally don't bother saving them to the Tune Bot, as the I just use the app, but it's a neat idea.Also used it to tune my snares, to an A with perfect fourths, and they sound great.Lastly, I really neat trick is you can use a pitch-finder app to get the note off any drum-demo video you like, get a reading of what fundamental note that drum is giving, and then tune your drum to this precise note.There's a video on YouTube of a Mapex Saturn being demo'd for a Korean drum-shop. He plays each tom individually and they sound great, you can get the note using any app you like, then use the Tune Bot to help you tune to this note (in any variety of resonance/attack you prefer).

Inspired by a very good review on youtube, I decided to try it. I've been playing drums for many years and I always found tuning a pain in the neck. I only play contemporary acoustic jazz with a very open sound (no gels, tape etc.). Controlling overtones and precise tuning is always been an annoying part of the job. Tune-Bot definitely helps in getting your work done in a much quicker and more precise way. You definitely need to spend some time with it to understand how to use it, though. No magic wand, you still need to use your ears! Maybe, I'll come to miss the memory functions present in the Studio model, but it's OK, and the free iPhone app is a great supporting tool.

I've only had the tune bot a couple of days, I have used it to tune my toms, it is easy to use and gave my toms a great sound, nicely tuned around the kit, it is easy to use and controls are easy to learn, 4 stars at the moment as it just didn't work on my 3 1/2 inch Piccolo Brass Snare, it was giving very low and strange readings, I did try the filter option, but it didn't help (I could be doing it wrong), I will try it on my 5.5 birch snare to see if it works on it, maybe it just doesn't like brass/piccolo snares. I will update rating if I get it to work, I also have the Drumtune Pro App, which works pretty well which I can use for my snare drum, just wish the Tune bot could work with Snare also. The unit looks well made, over all very happy, and worth the investment.

I was undeceived for so long wether to purchase this mainly because of the price and because I’m not too bad at tuning drums by ear (Although not perfect!) and because of reviews I had read so I was a little bit skeptical but I went for it and I must admit that I thought it give my drums a better sound as it made the sound from Tom to Tom roll perfectly and let’s you give your toms a crisp sound. To say I’m impressed is a understatement, I found it really easy to use and now wish I had purchased it sooner, I need to have a bit of a mess with it and learn how to save settings but if your willing to pay good money for a drum kit then surely £80 is nothing. Yes it’s something you won’t use too much but like a guitar tuner should be part of your kit!

After reading some reviews I had my doubts but the tune bot does what its supposed to do IF you follow the instructions. There are some good independent tips on YouTube that are better than tune bots own instructions and videos. Re-skinned my very retro 40 year old Hoshino Proffesional kit, which over the years has proved difficult to tune by ear. The tune bot saved me loads of time and the drums sound so good now. Really pleased with it in terms of tuning, its just a bit complicated to get to grips with at first.

The simple design makes it easier to use, and it works well
