Tom Troubles?

Well always when I play my toms, it never feels right, my sticks just slide right on off, not giving the toms a good hit. not literally, but thats what it feels like.

My toms are tuned well...out of 10...mabye a 5 or 6 for sounding good.

But whenever I do some fills while playing, they sound horrible and you can't ever hear or tell that i'm quickly hitting them, they just...kinda roll off if you know what I mean.

Anyone know what I'm talking about, or how to solve it?

My 100th post!
 
think thats going to be down to tuning!!
 
If you feel you've done the best you can do with the heads and tuning, get yourself a nice pair of earplugs and/or isolation headphones. These will filter out some of the unpleasant frequencies + unwanted overtones and give your drums a more EQ'd sound in your head. Of course, everyone else will still hear the crappy sound, but at least you'll be happy.
