My bandmates went in together and bought one. We each own a kit (3 total) and had all been using my DrumDial previously. The TuneBot is really sensitive and allows you to tune your drums to specific pitches -- albeit in about 3 times the amount of time. In the end my kit was tuned by me with a DrumDial and sounded better than their kits with the TuneBot. Interestingly, after double checking my drums with the TuneBot it turns out the frequencies at all of my lugs were SUPER close to each other (within 5 Hz). I then used the TuneBot to exactly match the lugs. Improvement was minimal at best.Full disclosure, part of it might just be that my kit sounds better.Drums in question:Ludwig 3-ply (mine)Ludwig 6-ply (concert toms converted to dual head)Ludwig Vistalites with really old ass heads
