Drum tuning

Ain't drum tuning grand? I have always had a thing for the drums.. or maybe it's the drummers? Either way I love the drums. A band is drum tuning right now. I hear the drums over hear more than any of the other instruments. They are tuning the snare drum now which to an untrained ear like mine is just a person mechanically hitting the snare over and over and over. You musicians are a dedicated bunch!
