To tune a tenor drum set, start with the lowest drum and aim for a minor 7th chord, beginning on E4 for a set with 10", 12", 13", and 14" drums. Tune the 14" to E4, 13" to G5, 12" to B5, and 10" to D5. Adjustments may be needed depending on the number of players and the music style. Always start tuning from the lowest drum.
Batter drumheads are the ones you strike and are available in different thicknesses and features to match your desired sound and playing style. Resonant drumheads, found on the bottom of the drum, enhance tone and sustain, with thinner versions used for greater sensitivity, especially on snare drums. Choosing the right drumhead depends on the drum type and the sound you want to achieve.
