Drumming News :
RT60 Ltd. has announced the official global launch of iDrumTune, Version 3; a complete rebuild of its industry-standard mobile drum tuning application from the ground up, for both iOS and Android.
Designed by world-leading professor of drum acoustics, Rob Toulson, and trusted by over 180,000 drummers worldwide, iDrumTune eliminates the frustrating “dark art” guesswork of drum tuning, replacing it with a clear, highly visual, and precise, repeatable path to finding your perfect drum tone, every time.
As the pioneer of mobile drum acoustic analysis, RT60 is focussed on demystifying the art and science of drum sound. Drummers continue to face a barrage of conflicting, unevidenced advice online, leaving them struggling to identify and control subtle pitch differences or achieve repeatable results. iDrumTune V3 reinforces RT60’s position as the definitive knowledge leader, replacing internet guesswork with an interactive, scientifically-proven system that actively trains the drummers’ ears whilst helping them develop absolute tuning confidence.
“You can’t change the laws of physics, but you can master them.”
“We’ve designed iDrumTune as an interactive ally for drummers. With the new inbuilt coaches, we’re bridging advanced acoustic analysis with practical musical reality and removing the guess-work. Now, it’s a repeatable skill that any player can confidently master and make it part of their art form.”
Prof. Rob Toulson, Founder of iDrumTune & Professor of Drum Acoustics
Key upgrades in Version 3 include:
Look and feel overhaul:
The redesign offers a cleaner, more consistent appearance that is easier than ever to use: with left-right swipe navigation, high-contrast dark mode, real-time waveform drawing, and cross-platform profile syncing to log and recall custom kit presets.
In-app coach:
The intelligent on-screen assistant guides the drummer, including strike position and microphone placement in real time, preventing false readings and guaranteeing successful tuning on the very first try.
Native LEARN masterclass:
The entire world-class drum acoustics masterclass is integrated natively into the app’s LEARN tab. Players can actively track progress and study drum tuning concepts as they tune their kit.
Ear-tuning development:
A responsive, keys-based tone generator helps drummers to develop the listening skills required for unassisted tuning and traditional ear-tuning instincts.
To support drummers further, RT60 is offering the drum-tuning essentials covered in lessons 1-5 of its drum acoustics training masterclass free of charge! HERE
