RT60 describe their iDrumTune app as “the world’s most advanced, accurate and intelligent system for assisting and educating on drum tuning”. It’s been around for a quite some time now, and we reviewed it back in 2017, but while it was originally available exclusively on iOS, there’s now an Android version, too.
Relied on by over 180,000 drummers and engineers worldwide, iDrumTune has been designed to help users understand how the sound of a drum is influenced by its acoustics and physical setup. The app pairs up with an integrated, progress-tracked AES-published Drum Sound and Drum Tuning masterclasses, the first five lessons of which are provided for free with each purchase.
