Answer 2

there are no notes on a drum kit.

you tune them by pitch. with metal, you have to tune them pretty low. just try to hear a change in the tone from tom to tom, from a "high" pitch, to a low pitch, starting with the smallest tom.

the snare, you have to tighten the k***s so that when you play on it like 1 inch away from the k**b, you will hear the same pitch on each k**b
