I'm considering getting a dbx 386 for my home studio. Any of you guys have opinions on this unit? How much better do you think the 586 is (I could probably swing it but that would limit my mic budget)? And are there any comparable units you think I should be shopping also?

I sometimes find myself working with a drummer who doesn't tune his/her drums properly. Can anyone recommend a source of info on drum tuning? I think it's pretty complicated, but I want to see if I can't figure out at least the basics. Thanks!
