Hi, I'm Shaun Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village, and today I'm going to show you how to change a drum head and tune the drum. Hi, I'm Shaun Schaefer and I'm a drummer. And I've been playing drums for about fifteen or sixteen years. And currently I'm in the band, pop rock band, Blessed Union Of Souls. And I've played all over the world in front of thousands of people, and I've played thousands of shows. And not only do you have to play good and look good, but you have to sound good. And part of sounding good is making sure you're putting new drum heads on your drums on a regular basis and tuning your drums before every show. So today, we're going to change our drum head, and we're going to tune the drum. I'm going to show you how to do that. And right now I'm going to show you what we're going to need. Drum key, you always have to have a drum key. A rag, and a pair of drum sticks and of course the drum that you are changing the head. So let's get started.
