How are the rack toms mounted?

Both the 8x10" and 9x12" rack toms come with a 1/2" (12.7mm) universal mount that fits most L-rod post stands, including Ludwig, DW, and Gibraltar. The mount is securely attached to the shell by two screws, with a spacer between the mount and the shell. As an option, the mount can be removed and replaced with a badge that covers the holes if you prefer a cleaner look.

Additionally, you can place either rack tom on a snare stand.

Does the entire kit have the ability to tune the top and bottom heads independently? 

Yes, the same independent control drummers love on our snares is available on each drum in our Dialtune drum set. You can control the tuning of the batter and reso heads using separate dials. No tools required!

This is a pre-order, when can I expect my drum set?

All pre-order drum sets are set to ship on or before January 2026. Our pre-order drum sets are individually numbered, and come with a bunch of extra goodies to celebrate the innovators in the drum community joining us in making history.

Is my pre-order refundable?

Yes, you can request a full refund within 30 days of your purchase. If you’re using our exclusive August offer — up to $599 off a snare with a 3-piece kit, or $699 off a snare with a 4-piece kit — and your snare has already shipped, we’ll still honor your refund for the drum set, but we’ll deduct the value of the snare discount from your refund amount.

Can I use standard drumheads on a Dialtune drum set?

Yes! Drumheads from major manufacturers like Evans, Remo, Aquarian, Attack will work with Diatlune's cable tuning system. Just make sure you're buying the right size diameter for the drum 🤘🥁

How do I change the cable on a Dialtune tom or bass drum?

Changing a cable on a Dialtune rack tom, floor tom, or bass drum is a simple process and should be part of the regular maintenance you perform on your Dialtune drum set.

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. We'll have How-To videos on how to change cable for each drum soon.

How long will a cable last on the toms or bass drum before I have to replace it?

We use a 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. If you tune your drum to a setting and leave it, the cable should hold for many 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.

How much does each drum weigh?? And how does it compare?

The weight of each individual tom and bass drum is comparable to premium drum kits from major manufacturers. The approximate weight of each drum is as follows:

  • 8x10" 10lbs
  • 9x12" 12lbs
  • 14x16" 18lbs
  • 16x22" 22lbs
How does the Dialtune drum kit perform in different environments?

From small cramped rooms to the largest arenas, we have engineered our drum set to sound great no matter the environment. That is because our cable tuning system helps to provide a clear and consistent tone throughout the tunable range of the drum, even if the temperature and humidity changes.

The cable system pulls each lug point at a consistent tension. And your ability to dynamically hear changes as you tune help you match your tuning to the room faster and easier than every before.

Can I put Dialtune's cable system on my current drum kit?

Not yet. Because of the wide variety of drum manufacturers on the market, each manufacturer uses a unique lug pattern that makes it difficult to apply Dialtune's cable tuning system effectively. To ensure the technology works, we make Dialtune as a complete drum so we can have more control over the quality! We hope to tackle an aftermarket version in the future.

How can I find out the number of my drum set?

Each pre-order drum set will be individually numbered, and will be assigned to customers in the order in which they were purchased.
