One comment I got a TON of in the video about this DW Collectors video was about the pitches of the shells. Most people said that it's pointless to even include the pitches and no one ever tunes to the pitches of the shell. Also, the pitch of the shell totally changes once all the hardware is installed, due to all the added mass. So I wanted to see first, if my tuning was anywhere close to the pitch of the shell, then see if tuning to the pitch of the shell sounded any better. This kit is 10"x8" (C), 12"x9" (F), 16"x14" (C#), 22"x18" (G#), and 14"x6.5" (A). Which actually make a decent sounding chord (C# maj7 with an added #5). The way I tuned sounded completely different! and surprisingly was just a bunch of octave Ds and a few other notes, making an augmented triad. Does one sound better than the other? Ill let you be the judge! This is not meant to be a "how to tune your drums tutorial." Just having some fun!
