Put your phone down, strike the drum, and see exactly what to turn.
Drum Tuner listens to each strike and tells you the pitch at every lug, the note of the drum, and which rod to turn, which way, until the head is even and the drum sits on its target.
EVEN TENSION, LUG BY LUG
• Strike next to each lug; the lug map fills in with the pitch at every rod
• The app picks the lug to turn and shows the direction with an arrow
• Hold a lug to measure it again; Undo brings the old reading back
• Batter and resonant heads, with the resonant head facing up or down
THE RIGHT NOTE FOR EVERY DRUM
• Strike the centre: note name, Hz and cents from your target
• "Raise" or "lower" and how to turn, with a needle that settles on the target
• Save any sound you like as the target with a double tap, or snap to the nearest note
• Play the target note through the speaker to hear where you are going
FIND YOUR DRUMS' SWEET SPOT
• Tighten in small steps and strike: the app scores every strike on how clear the note is and how long it rings
• A chart shows where each drum sounds best; one tap makes it the target
• Fits your toms to even intervals, as close as possible to each drum's own sweet spot
TARGETS FOR THE WHOLE KIT, FIVE WAYS
• By drum size: suggested notes and lug pitches for snare, toms and bass drum from each drum's size
• From one tom you like: tune one by ear, the others follow from drumhead physics
• From how your drums sound: built on the measured sweet spots
• Or published values and common practice
• Thirds, fourths or fifths between toms; one control moves the whole kit higher or lower
• Kit status shows every drum at a glance: last note, target, lug evenness, interval to the next tom
TIMPANI
• A range strip for each size, with the best-sounding notes marked
• Tap or slide along the strip to set the target, then pedal while it rings
• Fifth and octave partials, to check the head is clear
• Clear head mode evens the tension at every handle
• Reading keeps updating while the note rings
EVERY KIND OF DRUM
Drum set, concert snare, concert bass drum, marching snare, tenors, marching bass drums, congas, bongos, djembe and rototoms. Each type has its own listening range, lug count and tuning guide.
MADE FOR REAL ROOMS
• Detects strikes, not chatter: a noise filter ignores thumps, clicks, many voices and notes from other instruments
• Learns the background sound and subtracts it, built to keep working while others warm up
• Readings lock to the drum you just struck
SMALL TOOLS THAT SAVE TIME
• "Next" takes you to the next drum that is not yet in tune, or let it move on by itself
• Vibration and an optional chime when a drum is in tune, so you can keep your eyes on the key
• Drift check: how far each drum has moved since your last session
• Head log with fitting dates, and a check that warns when a head no longer rings like it did when new
• Snare buzz finder: which tom sets off the snare wires
• Several kits, each with its own drums and targets
• Hold a tab for quick menus; app icon shortcuts straight to Note, Lugs, Timpani or your kit
• Step-by-step guides for snare, toms, bass drum, timpani, marching and hand drums
• International (C D E) or French (do ré mi) note names, adjustable reference pitch
PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
No ads. No account. No subscription. Sound is analysed on your phone and never leaves it; your kits are stored only on your device, with export and import for backups.
Made by a musician, for drummers, timpanists, drum techs, teachers and marching sections.
