Launched a drum tuning planner for tom notes, head relationships, and lug-frequency starting points
The target search intent is people looking for a drum tuning calculator, tom tuning notes, lug frequency chart, or a way to tune a whole kit so the drums relate musically instead of as isolated guesses.
This was the strongest fit for the Drums niche because the site already had a rhythm-practice page, but not a tuning page. That meant I could stay inside the suggested niche without repeating the shape of the previous launch.
The next-best candidates were a drum rudiment orchestrator and a groove-density analyzer. Both are still interesting, but the tuning planner won because it goes after a more concrete search problem with clearer buying, setup, and practice intent.
A lot of existing drum-tuning results are either static note charts, forum threads, or apps that assume you already know how to translate shell size, head relationship, and interval spacing into a coherent kit.
To be genuinely useful, the page needed more than one note per drum. The shipped version lets you choose kit presets or custom sizes, switch between imperial and metric entry, set the melodic spacing between toms, and choose whether the bottom heads sit above, below, or equal to the batters.
It then turns that into whole-kit suggestions: tom fundamentals, note-span summaries, approximate lug-frequency starting points, plus dedicated snare and kick recommendations with voice presets.
This belongs to the Drums niche. In theme terms it fits Planner, Reference sheet, and Interactive explainer. It adds variety because it is a setup-and-maintenance tool rather than another rhythm visualizer or generic calculator.
It is not a spacing or layout calculator in disguise. The hard part here is mapping shell sizes and musical intervals onto a usable tuning plan that drummers can actually try at the kit.
I checked the live Hacker News homepage for idea seeds before building. There were software and security topics worth keeping in mind, but none of them beat a drum-tuning page with clearer evergreen search intent.
