INCLUDES 2 FULL TUNING LESSONS!!! Howdy Y'all. Here is the YouTube version of my latest step by step drum tuning lesson "TUNING UP YOUR DRUMS AFTER A GIG" now streaming at

www.kennysharretts.com/video-courses?wix-vod-video…
as streaming the video helps to support my channel, and gives you a wicked set of drum tuning skills to boot.
This YT version includes 2 full lesson segments of the the 9 lesson segments that are in the full lesson video. There are also tons of tips, and discussions on some of the common issues I have found on drummers kits, and my own the day AFTER a gig. If you keep your kit tuned up after every gig, it generally stays in tune. So I show you some of the common ways to instantly bring your kit back in tune after a gig. This vid covers a 13" tom, a 16" floor tom, a 22" kick, a 10 lug 14" snare drum, and an 8 lug 14" snare drum. The methods, however, apply to drums of all sizes.

Howdy all. As always please subscribe to my channel, and if you want to learn how to get the drum sound you want every time you tune your drums go to www.kennysharretts.com/video-courses to help support my channel, and get a wicked set of tuning skills to boot.
Here's a product review video w/ a back to back demo of some new "alt material" bass drum beaters from Dragonfly Percussion. These beaters offer drummers a way to truly sculpt their bass drum sound to for a recording or performance that goes beyond the standard hard plastic/hard felt beater. Really giving the drummer a chance to create something magical for their sound. In this vid I discuss the 2 2 new additions to the Dragonfly Bass Drum Beater Line. The Suede Beater, and the XL Flannel Beater. These beaters are the cousins of 2 of my fave beaters from their initial offering of beaters. The Hard Leather Beater, and the Flannel Beater. Check those 2 beaters at Sweetwater as shopping via these links helps to support my channel.
Dragonfly Percussion Hard Leather Kick Drum Beater

Dragonfly Percussion Soft Flannel Kick Drum Beater
sweetwater.sjv.io/VmaxNj

For the leather side these beaters offer incredibly articulate punch, and power while giving you a warm attack. The Hard Leather (which I absolutely LOVE!) is full power, while the Suede seems to take it down just a notch. Both are amazing as you will hear.

For the flannel side, these beaters offer are fully articulate, but with a soft, warm, attack and tone. Perfect for jazz gigs, restaurant gigs, or smaller church services. The XL is simply for when you want a bit more boom in your tone. Thank you for watching.

Take your snare tuning skills to the next level! Howdy All. Here's a highlight video stuffed full of tuning tips from my step by step drum tuning lesson "How To Tune A 6.5" x 14" Brass Snare Drum Step By Step To 4 Great Tunings" feat. the Rogers 6.5" x 14" Brass SuperTen Snare Drum. In this vid I demo/discuss how to get 4 great tunings for a Brass Snare Drum. These tunings are a great start for ANY metal shell 14" snare drum at any depth. In the full step by step video at www.kennysharretts.com I take you step by step from "ground to sound" from installation for both heads through all 4 tunings (Low, Medium, Medium high, and high tones) including pitches, frequencies, and Drum Dial settings for ALL of the tunings. Please stream the full lesson at

www.kennysharretts.com/video-courses?wix-vod-video…

as streaming the lesson helps to support my channel, AND give you a wicked set of drum tuning skills to boot.
Tunings include a full bodied medium tension Perfect 4th, a swampy low tension Perfect 5th , a medium/high tension Major 3rd for a killer pop, and medium/high tension Perfect 4th with a full bodied crack like the tuning I used for the Black Beauty of Drew Shoals with Train.

Howdy All! Here's the new highlight video full of tuning tips/lessons from my latest step by step drum tuning lesson "HOW TO TUNE A 20 INCH BASS DRUM TO 4 GREAT SOUNDS". Including a back to back comparison of the different tunings using both a hard plastic beater, and a hard felt beater. Watch, and decide which is your favorite of the 4 tunings. Using a clear Evans EQ4 on the Batter, and and EQ3 Reso, my goal was to create 4 great, modern sounding bass drum tones
To learn how to get 4 great sounds from your 20" Bass Drum (or pretty much any Bass Drum), AND help to support my YT channel, PLEASE stream the step by step lesson at
www.kennysharretts.com/ppv-only-page?wix-vod-video…

In this video I discuss/demo 4 different tuning intervals for your 20" Bass Drum, and the 4 distinct sounds they produce. Each one is a tuning I designed to accommodate both the feel a drummer wants for their 20" Bass Drum, and a punchy tone with lots of bottom end. This video also serves as a great demo for the new Rogers Powertone Kick Drum, AND the AWESOME 6.5" x 14" Rogers Brass Super Ten. (It's an epic snare for sure. Very stoked to own it.) Check it out at Sweetwater Music Here

Howdy All! Here's another quick episode of "What's In The Box?" I'm super stoked about what's in this box, as I have wanted what's in this box for awhile now. Plus it allows me to "complete" a collection in my arsenal of drum equipment. I will say that now that I've had a chance to work with "What's In ThE Box" , I will tell you that "What's In This Box" is AMAZING! For those who just have to know before you watch the video, you can get a sneak preview here. imp.i114863.net/4e41xZ

Hello everyone. Here's a product review, & demo for the latest addition to my studio microphone collection. The Ethos from Earthworks audio. #earthworksaudio #ethos #gamechanger
You can also check it out at Sweetwater here.

Earthworks ETHOS Condenser Broadcast Microphone - Silver
imp.i114863.net/jWb7gM

The Ethos is a high quality broadcast microphone designed to give you an incredible vocal tone for your podcasts, voice overs, live streams, online lessons, & radio broadcasts. It’s also a ridiculously killer instrument mic for guitar amps, acoustic guitars, horns, and percussion as I will demonstrate in this video. In addition, I show you a brief lesson on how I applied a High Pass Filter to focus the bass tones of my voice for my online drum, and drum tuning lessons. As other than the High Pass, and a light Low Pass Filter to control the airiness of my studio there is ZERO EQ on the mic during this video. Zero anything. It's straight from the mic to your ears. Considering how much I LOVE this mic, I have to agree w/ Earthworks that this mic is a GAME CHANGER for anyone looking for a quality Broadcast/Studio Microphone. If at any time during this video you decide "I must have this mic", please use the Sweetwater Link below as
#1 The new price drop at Sweetwater makes owning this awesome mic pretty much a no brainer ( you can be the judge of that after watching my review).
#2 You help support my channel by doing so.

Earthworks ETHOS Condenser Broadcast Microphone - Silver
imp.i114863.net/jWb7gM

The Ethos is a condenser microphone with a super cardioid pattern. It has a frequency response of 20Hz - 30KHz, and it's sensitivity is 20mV/Pa (-34dBV/Pa). Peak acoustic input is 145dB SPL, and has an output impedance of 65Ω with a min output load of 600Ω.

Howdy all. Just a quick reminder to find more drum tuning tips/vids, please join my website at www.kennysharretts.com/ . Otherwise my fam over at Ahead, and Big Bang have been working on a "drummer health" initiative. They asked me what products they had that I, as a tech, thought would be helpful in protecting the "drumming" health of drummers. So, . . . I made a video on the matter. LOLOL! Hence here's a look at a handful of great products from Ahead, and Big Bang Distribution that I like, and ALSO USE.

Hello everyone. Super excited about this video because it's a demo, and review of a style of snare drum that I love from a drum company I love. Please meet The Rogers Thunder Tone Snare Drum! A 10" x 14" Dyna-sonic Style shell (Proprietary Maple/Polar Shell with 2 Ply Re-rings), but with a traditional clock face style throw off , a huge set of snare wires, AND it's got floor tom legs. Some call it a ballad snare, some call it a snom, but here we call it THE THUNDER TONE, because of it's incredibly huge, and deep tone. In this video I take you through 6 tunings on this awesome drum, demo it with many musical styles, and kinda cover the ins, and outs of how to make a snare like this rock. The Thunder Tone snare sound is raw from the mics. No FX. Check it out y'all. The full step-by step lesson on how I tuned this drum will be streamable at www.kennysharretts.com Learn how to make this snare ROCK. Visit www.kennysharretts.com

Hello everyone. Here's a new drum tuning lesson video drawn from my latest step by step drum tuning lesson at www.kennysharretts.com : "HOW TO TUNE A 13" TOM TO 4 GREAT SOUNDS". In this YouTube highlight reel, I discuss, and demo the four different tunings I do on this Rogers Covington 13" Tom using an Evans Coated G1 Single Ply on the Batter side with a coated stock Ambassador on the reso side. Each tuning is at a different tension, (Low, Medium/Low, Medium/High, and High), which gives you a broad range of tones for your 13" Tom. I also discuss how the tunings of my 16" Floor Tom changed with the tunings of my 13" tom in order to maintain the same interval between the 2 drums, and maintain a consistent style of tone between the 2 drums. All drum sounds are raw from the Earthworks DK7 Drum Mic Kit with no FX, and no EQ so you can clearly hear the pure sounds of the drums VS. somebody's mixing work. In the full step by step video that you can stream at www.kennysharretts.com , I take you from ground to sound, step-by-step through each tuning so you learn EXACTLY how to get these tunings every time you tune up your 13" tom. The full video includes pitches, tune-bot, and drum dial settings for both toms at all tunings. Stream today to help support my channel, and give a boost your tuning game. This video is also a great demo of the Earthworks DK7 Drum MIc Kit (which is one of the reasons I can use raw mics sounds!!!), as well as a great demo of the new Rogers Covington 13" Add On Tom that goes with these awesome new Rogers Covington Series drums.
