How to tune mesh skins on electronic drums:
Tuning mesh drum heads on electronic drums is a bit different from tuning acoustic drums since the sound is produced electronically rather than acoustically. However, you can adjust the tension of the mesh heads to achieve different response and feel. In this video I'm going to show you how to quickly achieve a realistic feel from your mesh drumheads and how you should tune each drum differently in order to best replicate an acoustic drum kit.


Here's a general guide to tuning mesh drum heads on electronic drums:

Familiarize Yourself with Your Drum Module: Each electronic drum module comes with various settings and options for adjusting the sensitivity, dynamics, and tone of your drum pads.
Start with Default Settings: If you're unsure where to start, you can reset your drum module to its default settings for the pads you're using. This will give you a baseline to work from.
Adjust Pad Sensitivity: Most electronic drum modules allow you to adjust the sensitivity of each pad. If your mesh head feels too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you can adjust this setting accordingly. Increasing sensitivity can make the drum pad respond more readily to lighter hits, while decreasing sensitivity can require harder hits to trigger the sound.
Fine-tune Response: Experiment with the various settings on your drum module to fine-tune the response of your mesh heads. This might include parameters such as threshold, dynamics, and curve adjustments. These settings can affect how the drum pad responds to different playing techniques.
Experiment with Head Tension: Some electronic drum kits allow you to adjust the tension of the mesh heads similar to acoustic drums. Tightening the mesh head can give you a more rebounding feel, while loosening it can provide a softer, more dampened response. Experiment with different tensions to find what feels most comfortable for your playing style.
Test and Adjust: Once you've made adjustments, test the feel and response of your drum pads by playing various patterns and techniques. If something doesn't feel right, don't hesitate to go back and make further adjustments until you're satisfied with the response.
Save Your Settings: Once you've found the ideal settings for your mesh drum heads, make sure to save them on your drum module so you can easily recall them in the future.
Remember, tuning mesh drum heads on electronic drums is more about adjusting settings to suit your preferences rather than achieving a specific pitch or tone like with acoustic drums. Experimentation is key to finding the perfect feel for your playing style.
