'Fifth note of your chosen scale'

[jamesleonard]

Hello - I hope I am in the right place?

Ok, can somebody tell me the fifth note of my chosen scale for these please?

...I know A minor = E

But what about:
> D minor
> E minor
> C minor
> E flat minor
> F# minor
> C# minor
> G minor
> D flat minor

Your help would be greatly appreciated - and I'm sorrry if I posted this in the wrong forum.

real quick:

> D minor A
> E minor B
> C minor G
> E flat minor Bb
> F# minor C#
> C# minor Ab
> G minor D
> D flat minor Ab

but learn how to figure these out for yourself!

so what the OP asked is the 5th note in any given scale right?

That wiki page is showing the chart for the relative minors for the corresponding major scale......

one is not the other....im comfused......

Yes I always tune my kick drum to the fifth note of my scale, otherwise it (the Kick Drum) sounds dissonant with the music - if tuned to a chosen scale.

thanks.

I have always heard kick is tuned to F / floor tom to G mid Tom to A high tom to B snare C

Different drums tune up differently. Drums with clear pitches sometimes need to match key. Those pitches you mention might be valid starting points but you can definitely take it a lot further.

Yeah I forgot the disclaimer - I am not a drummer !!

Follow the circle "around"
G is the 5th of C, D is the 5th of G,
The relative minor is additional information. Its actually the 6th if you pay attention. (5th plus one step)
