Hey all, when I bought my acoustic kit, I tuned the tops and bottoms to the same pitch. I've since been checking out some videos and reading some stuff and so wanted to try tuning the reso heads a bit higher (I have been seeing and reading that it allows for a bit less resonating). Well, I did it. The rack toms sound pretty good, but when I hit the 14 and 16 floor toms, all hell breaks loose and after the very quick initial low thud, they ring in a whole different, and higher pitch. And honestly sounds absolutely horrible to my ears.
I know I should tune to what suits me. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem and how most of you tune your tops vs bottoms.
All the advice in the world is welcomed.
Thanks, Defender
