The original and most innovative electronic drum tuning app - iDrumTune Pro brings unrivalled accuracy and features that have never been possible before for assisting with drum tuning. Built by world experts in drums and musical acoustics, and backed up by a detailed online training course on Drum Sound and Drum Tuning.
iDrumTune Pro includes the following features:
* Pitch Tuning – to make your drums sing and allow you to play musical phrases around the kit
* Lug Tuning – to ensure that the drumhead is evenly tuned and gives a smooth and warm tone
* Resonant Head Tuning – to allow you to be sure that the two heads are working together and giving rich overtones
* Spectrum Analyzer – so you can really start to understand what frequencies are excited and heard when playing the drums
* Drum Kit Presets – so you can save and load your favourite tunings and share them with the world. Now also includes the interactive Drum Kit Designer feature.
* The Science of Drum Tuning – and extensive manual on the science and art of drum tuning and getting the best out of iDrumTune Pro
iDrumTune is the first and by far the most intelligent and accurate system for analyzing drum sounds and assisting tuning – developed by drummers, music producers and acoustics research Professors. iDrumTune provides you with a measurement of the drumhead vibration frequency, much in the same way to an acoustic guitar tuner which measures the vibration frequency of a guitar string. In Pitch Tuning mode, you simply hold the iPhone over the center of a drum, about 2-4 inches away, and strike the drum in the center.
The iDrumTune readout shows the recorded sound waveform and gives the strongest frequency recorded. There is also a tuning indicator bar which shows the drumhead tuning relative to musical notes, so iDrumTune can be used to ensure that your drums are in key with each other or the song you are playing. A frequency spectrum view also allows more detailed analysis and helps with tuning the drum at the lug positions.
iDrumTune provides advanced tuning features including an intelligent filter function, Lug Tuning mode and Resonant Head Tuning mode. The filter allows unwanted frequencies to be ignored by the analysis algorithm, whilst Lug Tuning mode offers the simplest and most innovative method for tuning an even frequency response at the lug positions on the drumhead.
The Preset Manager allows you to save all your favourite drum tunings and call them up when you are in the middle of the process. Drum kits can also be exported and imported, so you can share your favorite tuning setups and load new ones in from other drummers.
Drum Tuning isn’t easy, and drums don’t respond exactly the same way every time you hit them. For that reason, it's valuable to know a little about the science of drum tuning. iDrumTune includes a comprehensive text on the science of drums and drum tuning in order to help you get the best of iDrumTune and to become an expert drum tuner!

Drum Tuner FAQ
Is Drum Tuner free?
Drum Tuner is not free (it costs 9.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Drum Tuner legit?
🤔 The Drum Tuner app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I’m new to drums since January. This apps nice, I’m sure it works, maybe I’m just not using it right. But when the app tells me to tighten batterside/underside and loosen batterside/underside for a whole hour… I mean tuning should not be this challenging…
This app doesn’t make sense
Note that I’ve been playing for 10+ years.
So I’m using this app to tune my snare, but the Hz is all over the place. This app cannot decide if it’s 119Hz or 174Hz which is a crazy gap. Also, it won’t let me tune one lug to the desired Hz I want, it just marks the first one as that and then just says +X or -X instead of letting you tune that initial lug correctly in the first place. It’s also very annoying how you only get one hit per lug, so if it’s still off you have to the menu for a clean slate. Now that’s just bad design.
Not working
After using this app successfully for awhile, it simply stopped working. When I try to tune a drum, the program shows no response when the drum is hit.
Brilliant app - a game-changer
I make my living as a drum tech, and this app has upped my game. It makes tuning fast, easy and consistent, and the author’s tutorials are extremely helpful. The best thing about it is that anyone could use it to tune drums with relatively little time spent learning how. The only thing I need to point out for users is that other apps that use the microphone might conflict, so if you’ve just opened a guitar tuning app (for example) and find that this app isn’t getting information via the microphone, it’s best to close and reopen the app to get it working
Blown away - my kit sounds great
Fantastic how accurate this app is in getting clean tones, I would recommend it to any drummer that struggles with tuning. Now, the app will get you about 80% of the way there, it helps to use each of the app’s tools in the right sequence to slowly arrive at a particular note. But this takes away so much of the guesswork, easily worth buying.
Waste of money
Can’t even get it to work. It says it’s listening yet doesn’t show or do anything when I hit my drum.
Sweet!!!
I’ve been drumming for a little over a year. I bought a Mapex Armory drum set and my journey began. My focus was on the physical aspect and tuning was foreign and daunting. Got the App,educated myself and took the plunge. It took some time to fully understand what was going on but once I got the hang of it it was brilliant!! This kit sounds amazing and every drum is tuned to the exact note! I even check and adjust before each session. From an absolute newbie I say thank you 😊
Readings
Readings are sporadic at best.
Making a complex task more complex
Poor, unintuitive User Experience design and amateurish User Interface design. Based on other reviews I’m assuming that when I’ve spent far more time with it than I would like it will actually work fine.
