I recently purchased an old Gon Bops 9 3/4" quinto to add to my collection. I'd love to know how others tune when playing with 4 drums. What pitches or intervals do you use? I'm about to start trying to get the Gon Bops drum to sound good with my three LP Classics. I'd like to know what your opinions are on tuning four drums. Johnny?
Also, now that I have four drums to choose from, which ones do all of you think I should take with me for gigs when I only want/need two drums? What about 3 drums? I'm inclined to take my new 9 3/4" quinto and my LP Classic 12 1/2" tumba. However, I also have the the LP Classics in 11" and 11 3/4". I know, it's a matter of personal preference, but I want to hear what some of you would do in my situation.
Thanks,
Zach
