It sure would be great if we could load up a training program like in the Matrix and immediately learn everything we need to know about tuning drums and be able to apply it in context. But the reality isn’t hard as long as you’re willing to do what so many people aren’t: practice! But what do you practice and how? We’ve got three different exercises that you can employ to help improve your tuning skills.
