The original and most innovative electronic drum tuning app - iDrumTune Pro brings unrivalled accuracy and features that have never been possible before for assisting with drum tuning. Built by world experts in drums and musical acoustics, and backed up by a detailed online training course on Drum Sound and Drum Tuning.

iDrumTune Pro includes the following features:

* Pitch Tuning – to make your drums sing and allow you to play musical phrases around the kit

* Lug Tuning – to ensure that the drumhead is evenly tuned and gives a smooth and warm tone

* Resonant Head Tuning – to allow you to be sure that the two heads are working together and giving rich overtones

* Spectrum Analyzer – so you can really start to understand what frequencies are excited and heard when playing the drums

* Drum Kit Presets – so you can save and load your favourite tunings and share them with the world. Now also includes the interactive Drum Kit Designer feature.

* The Science of Drum Tuning – and extensive manual on the science and art of drum tuning and getting the best out of iDrumTune Pro

iDrumTune is the first and by far the most intelligent and accurate system for analyzing drum sounds and assisting tuning – developed by drummers, music producers and acoustics research Professors. iDrumTune provides you with a measurement of the drumhead vibration frequency, much in the same way to an acoustic guitar tuner which measures the vibration frequency of a guitar string. In Pitch Tuning mode, you simply hold the iPhone over the center of a drum, about 2-4 inches away, and strike the drum in the center.

The iDrumTune readout shows the recorded sound waveform and gives the strongest frequency recorded. There is also a tuning indicator bar which shows the drumhead tuning relative to musical notes, so iDrumTune can be used to ensure that your drums are in key with each other or the song you are playing. A frequency spectrum view also allows more detailed analysis and helps with tuning the drum at the lug positions.

iDrumTune provides advanced tuning features including an intelligent filter function, Lug Tuning mode and Resonant Head Tuning mode. The filter allows unwanted frequencies to be ignored by the analysis algorithm, whilst Lug Tuning mode offers the simplest and most innovative method for tuning an even frequency response at the lug positions on the drumhead.

The Preset Manager allows you to save all your favourite drum tunings and call them up when you are in the middle of the process. Drum kits can also be exported and imported, so you can share your favorite tuning setups and load new ones in from other drummers.

Drum Tuning isn’t easy, and drums don’t respond exactly the same way every time you hit them. For that reason, it's valuable to know a little about the science of drum tuning. iDrumTune includes a comprehensive text on the science of drums and drum tuning in order to help you get the best of iDrumTune and to become an expert drum tuner!

Excellent job!

Just wanted to say, thank you so much for making this app! Though my old iPhone 5s has its limitations, I was able to convert it into a powerful drum tuning tool using this application. It’s quite convenient, intuitive, easy to use, etc. The lug equalizer feature is excellent, and I also appreciate being able to save the tunings used before so I can get the exact same tuning another day. I have really learned a lot while using this app, training my ear to hear specific intervals, understanding tuning science, and much more.
Before I got this app, I was lousy at tuning drums. They had many overtones, yet were also in a way completely dead as well. Since then, I’ve used iDrumTune quite a lot, and it has worked very well for me! I’ve learned a lot more about tuning drums, to the point that I can make a drum kit sound fairly decent without my phone. If you are still learning how to tune drums, or looking for a less expensive alternative to TuneBot, I can’t recommend iDrumTunePro enough.
It was worth every cent of the money I paid. Thanks iDrumTune!!!

This is a Great App

I came back to drumming after a thirty year hiatus. Back then my Yamaha kit and I had severe disagreements over how it would sound. Before a gig I would struggle mightily with each drum trying to get the round, full sound I wanted. Eventually I would just throw in the towel—literally—and settle for a dull thud. Thirty years later I am old and fat and stuck at home with COVID on the loose and chemo therapy dogging my steps. My answer was to find myself a nice little Sonor kit and some cheap cymbals. After a few days of fiddling, I downloaded this app. Sure, drum head technology has advanced light years and drum shell manufacturing methods are far better. (I can now afford solid maple shells and a friend lent me his Noble & Cooley snare.) But, with this app, I now LOVE the sound of this kit. It is EXACTLY how I always envisioned my kit sounding. Now, if they could make an app to help my cymbals...

Excellent!!!

I’ve been drumming since 1987 when I purchased my first kit - a Premier APK power Tom 5 piece- if I had this app then, I could just imagine what those drums would or could have sounded like! I was only 17 and had no clue how to tune a drum ( let alone tuna fish…but I digress) . Through the years I’ve struggled to get a great tone from any of my drums but finally I can with this app!!! I’ve used it on my Pearl Export kit and even on an old CB kit and the results were astounding!!!! This is such a great tool as your ears will always fool you- so with the visuals of accurate frequencies and helpful tutorials and explanations I finally can hear what my drums are supposed to sound like !!!! Thank YOU!!! ******* one slight inconvenience is the app wants to crash every so often so I look forward to any updates that might be coming ****
