A great little book for anyone of all skills and styles. This book is a handy little guide to tuning your drums, with many helpful photos to show you what to do.
It also comes with a CD which is extremely useful, especially if you are new to tuning and want to know about the different sounds you can get out fo your drums.
All in all a grat book, reccomended to anyone.

A very informative book!
26 Jun 2004
Format:Paperback
I have been away from drumming for 18 years. I recently bought a used kit (Pearl Masters BRX) and thought it would be a good idea to replace the heads. Obviously I hadn't tuned a drum in years so I needed some help. This book is very informative and covers every detail relating to drum heads and tuning. I do think the audio CD falls a little short. A DVD would be better, but the book is so good I'd recommend it even if the cd weren't included!

Very practical approach to tuning..
29 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After a long hiatus, I returned to drumming about a year ago. Although the basics of tuning came back quickly, I never REALLY learned to tune well when I was younger. In reading a variety of drum-related books I have come across many approaches to tuning. Most of these methods were too simple to produce the results I sought. As I continued my search I did come across an excellent web site "Prof Sound's Drum Tuning Bible v3" (http://home.earthlink.net/~prof.sound/) which I suggest to anyone serious about tuning. This web site contains even more information than Schroedl's book but it provides no audio reference files (not critical but very helpful) and the approach to tuning is really more than I am willing to undertake regularly. The information on this site did, however, allow me to achieve the sound I sought.
Searching for a simpler approach, I ordered Schroedl's book. This book presents a simple, straightforward approach that gets the job of tuning done effectively and efficiently! The audio files are helpful (some more than others) and serve to clearly demonstrate what is written. I can now get my drums sounding just the way I want and do it quickly. Thanks to this book, I spend more time playing and less time fiddling with my drums. I highly recommend the book.

Too Vague On Important Topics
22 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
This is a good book overall, but relatively brief when it comes to certain topics. He covers replacement of heads and basic tuning principles fairly well, but doesn't write extensively on maintenance of drum heads.
For those of us who can't afford to put new heads on a set every month or two, we need a book that covers the fine art of periodic re-tuning more extensively. I'd shop around a bit more before purchasing this book.
