Man, those are crazily high-tuned drums. That floor tom, especially.
Just for the heck of it, try the 12" at 112 Hz and the floor tom at 73 Hz. Yes, those are the fundamental frequencies.
That means 168 over 202 (lug pitches) for the 12" and 110 over 131 for the floor tom.
Snare drum: try 300 over 392 and see what you think of that.
Jesus I thought it was closer to medium then high, really. The resonant head was at 360 and I liked the snare better when I lowered the tension to probably bellow 300.. I reduced the tension of the reso untill I liked the feel of the snares, the chains.
But appart from the fact that the drum is too high, I would like to know if the notes are ok, the interval.
