How do you tune your toms? Do you follow any specific scale or simply "your ears"?

Gavin Says:


Yes I usually just follow my ears - but somehow I nearly always end up with these intervals:

tom 5 lowest tom 4 augmented 5th above tom 5 tom 3 augmented 4th above tom 4 tom 2 perfect 4th above tom 3 tom 1 perfect 5th above tom 2

So tom 5 seems to be G tom 4 Eb tom 3 A tom 2 D tom 1 A
