Dear Friend,
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. It really doesn't matter if you are a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, poorly tuned drums will make you sound worse to the average listener. In fact, they can make a great drummer sound downright terrible. Imagine an amazing basketball player trying to show off with a flat basketball, or a top football team practicing on a rain-slicked field without cleats. Both situations seem downright silly, but that is essentially what MANY drummers do when they attempt to play out-of-tune drums. They start out with a huge disadvantage.
Now, I'm not going to mislead you and say "great sounding drums make a bad drummer sound good". That simply is not true. However, it can make a solid drummer sound much better! In fact, I've heard MANY stories of studio drummers getting certain gigs almost entirely based on their reputation for great drum sounds.
Moreover, practicing and playing on properly tuned drums makes the entire experience more enjoyable, and therefore, they can actually speed up your rate of improvement. Its so much easier to motivate yourself when what you are playing sounds great, and that is what a properly tuned drum set can do for you.
The Sad State of Tuning For Far Too Many Drummers
If you are like most drummers, tuning is something that has never come naturally for you. This may be due to the fact that many drummers are self taught (with little or no formal training), or due to the fact that drum tuning has so many options (depending on the style of music you play). Whatever the case may be, it has become apparent that most drummers have little or no idea how to tune their drums for best results.
We've all heard little tips and tricks from time to time, but there are usually some important details missed that can make the entire process quite frustrating. You have the basics, but there are key elements missing that can make all the difference. It is these important elements that you will learn in the complete Drum Tuning System.
Who is Mike Michalkow, and What Can He Teach me?
Now, you may be wondering... who is Mike Michalkow, and what can he teach me about drum tuning? Well, my good friend Mike Michalkow has been performing, recording, and teaching drums for over 17 years. He has taken private lessons with Jim Chapin, Dom Famularo, John Fisher, Chuck Silverman, Peter Magadini, Mitch Dorge, and Virgil Donati.
Mike's passion for drums and percussion has earned him a name in the business and his summers consist of heading-up the drum department in the U.S. for the National Guitar Workshop, and he has also performed at the Vancouver International Drum Festival in October 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 by invitation of Yamaha Drums.
He currently plays and is endorsed by Yamaha Drums, Paiste cymbals, Pro Mark drum sticks and Hansenfutz accessory pedals. He is also a clinician on the Yamaha electronic and acoustic line. Mikes goal as a performer and enthusiastic teacher is to excite and motivate people about drums and music. This has been proven time and time again in each clinic Mike is involved with.
Mike specializes in studio drumming and teching (setup/tuning/etc.) for famous drummers like John Jr. Robinson (who is widely respected as the worlds most recorded drummer). So, not only is he a great instructor, but he also has the experience to back up what he is teaching!
