The tuning block
is designed to allow you to apply even stages of tension to
your snare drum top head. For best results, start tensioning
the snare drum top head with 'step 1' of tuning block
inserted between the retaining hoop and tension hoop of the
instrument, moving the tuning block around the circumference
of the instrument as you apply tension.
To increase tension, simply
insert the tuning block at its next step and repeat the
tensioning process around the full circumference of the
instrument. Take particular care not to miss any steps in
the tensioning process.
Utilising the tuning block
tensioning process on snare drums incrementally over a
period of time, using every step on tuning block will
provide consistent results across your drum corps and is
proven to increase the lifetime of snare drum top heads. |
