ORIGINAL: Ashton Page
SUPERIOR TUNINGS AND PITCHES:
The stock Custom and Vintage SDX kit is tuned thusly:
Bass Drum – Bb
Floor Tom – Eb (this is a perfect 4th above the kick)
Low Rack Tom – Ab (another perfect 4th)
Mid Rack Tom – Db (as above)
Hi Rack Tom – Gb (as above)
Snare Bb (this is a major 3rd above the Hi Ride Tom – which places it 2 octaves above the kick).
Fantastic Ashton, thanks so much for this information. I myself was wondering about this for a while. Interestingly, the drums seem to be tuned like a 7 string guitar down a half step! (low to high Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb). Very valuable insights indeed. How did you go about figuring this out?
