So you hit the drum, you wait, and maybe you hit it hard enough, and maybe you didn't. iDrumTune doesn't give any indicator that it heard you hit the drum, or that it's processing the result. It's easier to develop a consistent stroke that the Tunebot will recognize, and thus easier to get consistent results from the Tunebot. So you know you hit the drum with the right intensity, and you know the device is working. The Tunebot has a red light that comes on when it registers the drum, and tuns off when it finishes its calculations and displays a result. It takes a second or two for it to analyze the sound and display the result. You have to tap the drum loud enough for the device/app to register the hit. On both, when you play the drum, there's two similar behaviours: 1. I've found that the Tunebot is more user-friendly than iDrumTune. Why do they insist on telling me not to use an aid I find useful? I would never advocate using a drum dial to someone who can tune to exactly what they want, by ear. If it helps you, then use it, why not? Each to there own. Sadly I am not one of them and my Drum Dial has been a big help. Some people have a great ear, and know exactly what they want to hear from each drum and can tune to what they want quickly, by ear alone. You can then tweak for the sound you want, whatever that may be.You can also, for quick head changes, make a note of readings and whack new heads up to tension quickly. Nowt wrong with the Drum Dial, it will get you in the ball park very quickly, with an evenly tensioned head. Or that a washer is not binding or a hoop is not slightly bent. Oh, and also supposing your hand eye coordination and feel for guessing torque are up to scratch. Always supposing your tension rod threads, or indeed the threads in your lugs, are in perfect and matching condition.
