"Bought this thinking it would take awhile to come, a week and change later…it arrived. Just in time for a studio session and an upcoming show with my band Wild Planes. I tracked this with the demo head right out of the box and it sounded absolutely killer! Got the best sound out of this with just one moon gel. I’m legit blown away with what can be done with this snare. The Matte black looks great, the rim is big enough to get a crack and changing the head is easy peasy. Great concept!"

"Best snare I've ever owned. Period. I slap one moongel or a snareweight on it and it can tame some of the resonation that my alt-metal band's sound requires. I am truly awful at tuning traditional drums, and this thing gives me the peace of mind that all of my tension points are exactly equal. The quick release head makes changing heads so quick. And it's heavy. Heavy as balls. Which gets me excited in ways I wish it wouldn't...All in all, incredible innovation"

"I'm guessing I was like a lot of other people... Skeptical! Nervous! Worried! ...and several other emotions. Did as much research as I could, watching a lot of videos. For my review, I'm going to borrow from one of those videos. All of the tech stuff on this drum is really cool. After all, changing heads and tuning within minutes is wonderful. And I do mean WONDERFUL! The quality of the drum is phenomenal. It looks really good! Customer service is great! Response time has been very fast. The drum shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition. All of this, however, means nothing at all if the drum doesn't sound good. And for that, I can answer without hesitation... IT DOES!!!!!!"

"I love it! I swapped this snare with my black beauty, the sound engineer didn’t even notice the difference… so easy to tune. Needs dampening rings or gel dampeners but I haven’t put a different head on it. Im still experimenting but it’s been fun to change tuning on the fly"

Frequently Asked Questions
Dialtune is a cable tuning system for drums. Using separate dials for the top and bottom heads you can find the exact sound you're looking for faster, changing drumheads in under a minute, and exploring new creative possibilities without compromise.
Cable tuning is not new, but Dialtune has improved upon it. Dialtune's patented system is the only cable-tuning drum that can independently tune the top and bottom heads using separate dials on either side of the drum. Additionally, changing drumheads doesn't require removing the cable. Our quick-release hoops make changing a drumhead simple and easy.
Yes, you can control the tuning of the top and bottom heads independently using separate dials on either side of the drum. Check out our videos online for more information.
Changing a cable is a simple process and should be part of the regular maintenance you perform on your Dialtune snare drum. Dialtune's cable system uses high-tech synthetic fiber cable rated at over 500 lbs. Each length comes pre-stretched and carries zero memory, meaning it can be coiled and uncoiled easily without retaining any shape or structure. The cable is designed for smart failure, where it frays rather than snaps to prevent any damage to you or your drum. Most often, cable wears fastest near the dial as it is wound upon itself when tuning the drum up and down. If you tune your drum to a setting and leave it, the cable should hold for months if not years without needing to be replaced. The more you tune, the more frequently you'll want to check - and if need be - change your cable.
We've put together a video to walk you step by step through the process of changing a cable for either the top or bottom drum heads.
your dialtune snare is meant to be played! It's a rugged, highly engineered piece of equipment designed to hold up to whatever you throw at it. That said, like any instrument, taking the time to inspect and knowing what to look for will help ensure your dialtune snare plays true for years to come!
Check out our 1-minute maintenance check video for details.
Not yet. Because of the wide variety of snare drums on the market, each drum has a unique lug pattern that makes it difficult to apply Dialtune's cable tuning system. To ensure the technology works, we are starting by making dialtune a complete snare drum so we can have more control over the quality! We hope to tackle an aftermarket version in the future.
We built dialtune to perform no matter what you throw at it. To prove this, we threw a drum off our 30ft roof to demonstrate dialtune's durability.
