A drum tune adjustment system is provided for adjusting the pitch of a drum having a shell, a batter head, a resonant head, and a cavity formed therewithin. The drum tune adjustment system includes an air pump or air source, and a conduit fluidly connected with the air pump or air source. The system further includes a connector that is configured to attach the conduit to the shell of the drum such that the cavity of the drum is fluidly connected with the air pump or air source via the conduit. The system further includes a pedal that is configured to actuate the air pump or open a valve that is fluidly connected with the air source and thereby move a mass of air between the air pump or air source and the cavity of the drum when the conduit is attached to the drum with the connector.
