HeadTune
The HeadTune icon: a drum key on a drumhead

Get your drums to the note you want.

HeadTune listens to each hit through your phone's microphone and tells you what to do next: how far to tune each head, which lug to tighten, and when it's in.

Get it on Google Play Coming soon to the App Store

See it

Each hit shows on the drum as HeadTune hears it, and what to do next is right under it.

The start screen: One Head, and Whole Drum and My Drum Sets marked PRO One Head: a hit's pitch and note against the target Whole Drum: tuned, with the center and edge both on target Lug Mode: a ring of lugs, hitting lug 1 first

Four ways to tune

Hit the drum. HeadTune does the listening, and the arithmetic.

Whole Drum PRO

Pick the drum's note. Hit the center, then near a lug, and HeadTune says how far to tune each head, batter and resonant, allowing for how each moves the other. Repeat until it says Tuned.

My Drum Sets PRO

Set up your own drums, each at the note you want it. Then tune them one after another: Save & Next Drum takes you round the kit. A rock tuning and a jazz one? Duplicate the set.

Lug Mode

Get every lug on a head even. Hit by each lug in turn, and HeadTune says tighten or loosen, and by how much, moving on by itself once each one's in.

One Head

Tune a single head to a note, like a tuner: its pitch, its note, and how far it is from where you want it. Tap any reading to hear it.
