"Yes, I have one! one word.. UNBELIEVABLE. "
Lee P. St. Louis, MO.
"Finally, I had the opportunity to break out MY *tuned* drums
last night, and play live, with OUR band for the *first time*
since Oct/Nov.
I just wanted to let you know my drums have NEVER sounded as
good as they did last night. They were perfectly in tune...
PERFECT! It was so effortless, like autopilot, they were almost
like playing themselves... I swear, a HUGE difference!
I was able to play very soft dynamics, because the notes were so
pure... Like singing... No hard cover-ups (which is usually what
happens when things are forced) and even when I did play hard
dynamics... perfect.
The biggest *side effect* was stage volume. It allowed me to
keep my drum's SPL extremely LOW as needed, with increased ease
of playing and physical dynamic range. Allowing me to play
softer with ease, no problem! I even turned my wedge monitor WAY
down, still NO Problem! The drums sang like music, the groove
was easy to find, and I just kicked back and enjoyed every
second of it. I sure didn't have to play hard to force anything,
or find the groove. Everything just sank right in.
I knew they would sound good. But now I really know.
Your tuner made a MAJOR difference. I can't put into words how
awesome your tuner is. It totally, perfectly, scientifically,
flawlessly extracted the resonant tones from my drums and helped
me fix everything... Including stage volume!"
"..... Yes, it's worth
$400.00. Knowing what I know about the cost of designing,
research, purchasing, and building new prototypes and
inventions, plus getting it patented, I was afraid it was going
to cost more!"
"......what makes this tuner totally different is, it tunes to
actual resonance, and frequency response of the heads and
shell.. Not by torque wrenches or head tension dials... You can
actually feel the drum head vibrate as two speakers transmit a
range of variable low frequencies. In addition, two
strategically placed mic's receive, and pick out the reflected
wave shapes off of the head. Obviously it's very directional
too, you point it to the lug you're tuning, and is nearly
unaffected by the other lugs except the ONE lug it's looking at
(to a reasonable extent).
Much like tuning with your finger in the center of a drum with
respect to a lug, but this tuner does it electronically. Tuning
is either perfect, or not. If not, it'll get you there with +/-
led's showing you which way to turn! You have to see it in
action to fully appreciate and understand it.
Also, when tuning the old way by hand, you can tune one lug, but
then you need to perform a near perfect star pattern, hoping by
by "feel" or ear, and half step tuning methods, that you have
compensated for unequal head tensions, tilting, or whatever...
Then if it did tilt, it got really tricky to get "in between" to
un-torque and fix it. Mostly I'd give up and just take it all
loose and start over again. Even with with torque wrenches and
tension dials, it's been an imperfect science, until NOW."
"One more thing... Nothing... And I mean NOTHING, comes even
remotely close, to precision tuning, until you tried out JR's*
Resotuner**.
(Yes I have one! one word.. UNBELIEVABLE.)
Real quickly, (I'm at work and lunch is over) traditional
old style tuning requires
you to take the drum off the stand, and place one head down on a
stool, to kill one head, so you can hear and tune the other free
floating head. When you do that, the whole drum's resonant
frequency, and head you are tuning, rises to a much higher
frequency. Then you flip it over, try to match the high pitch on
the other head, etc.. YUK!
But NOT with JR's* tuner. The beauty of his tuner allows you to
keep the drum mounted on the stand, shell floating in free air
(except mounting hardware) and resonating as is... The way it's
SUPPOSED to be.
Then it does a slow frequency sweep catching the REAL resonant
fundamental, and overtone freqs. It locks on precisely, does
some "thinking" and then it tells YOU where to turn the lugs!
I swear, watching this thing work, LED's locking on... It's so
precise, it's like JR's* in the room with me! 
I have NEVER heard my drums sound so good before. No BULL. I've
played live with my band twice now, with the most beautifully
sounding, precision tuned drums I've ever heard. It totally
works, and is totally unbelievable.
