Hi! I am Wes Crawford and now we are going to talk about probably the most crucial aspect of changing a drumhead and thats actually tightening the lug screws into the lugs to get the proper tension on the drumhead, to get the sound you want because thats what it's all about. First just take your fingers on the lug screws, they are very easy to tighten, and so what we want to do is have them all to the same equal tension and we will do that finger tightening each set of lug screws all around the drum and as you can see I am doing this with opposite screws that is opposite sides of the head, exactly, and this is not really putting any tension on the head yet because we are just getting them basically to what we would call the zero point. I am tightening so that they won't tighten with my fingers anymore and we can bring our key into play. At this point you also want to watch and make sure that the rim is going down evenly over the head that you dont see more collar on one side or the other, more part of this bottom part of the head here. So, now I am going back around and checking to see they are all at what I am calling the zero point, zero tension, the drum is now ready to be tensioned and we will start. In this case, I am starting in about the 8o clock position in relation to my body and I am going to give it one half-turn, I will go to the opposite side, finger tighten again because the act of tightening one side can affect the tension on the other side, it might have loosen it up, thats particularly true of the bigger drums. So, Ill give this side one half-turn. Now, I am going to remember my 8o and 2o clock positions and go over here to the 10o and 4o because thats as far away as I can get from these other two and Ill most evenly tension it, by doing a half-turn on each of these. Again, you always want to make sure, you are starting with a tight finger, tightening tension. Now, this is a 10 lug drum, so we have just covered four of them, lets move two more from lugs away from the last one we just did, which actually puts it only one away from one that we did earlier. A half-turn will move two away. Again, you want to make sure nothing is loosening up as you do this, and finally as you can see this did loosened up, we are doing the ninth and tenth lugs. Your drum may have fewer or perhaps more lugs. The point is to do them as evenly as possible, and some have indeed loosened up a little bit. So, lets go through and do a whole next cycle, in the same order, trying to tighten them in an even fashion and I compensated on this one by doing two half-turns because for some reason it has loosened up. So, now we have done two half-turns or one complete turn equally around the drum. Now, if you are tuning a tom that might be fine, that might be the tension you want, and I would suggest and start tapping to see if its around of kind of tone you want, the kind of pitch you want. With a snare drum, top head, we generally tune it a little bit more taut, so, I am going to do two more half-turns all the way around, and sometimes you will just feel, just by a feel, you will feel that one lug is not as tight as the others it offers less resistance, so you might compensate by tuning a little extra. The point is you want to get the head equally taut at every point around the drum, so what you have to do to make that work is what you have to do.
