My hydraulics were trashed so I'm trying some Evans UV2, mostly just because I was curious. I'm sure my ear is out of calibration from the hydraulics, but these things seem to be resonating like crazy. They actually sound just like timpani to me, even the tuning between the low rack tom and floor tom has the same interval. My moongel is gooey and gross, so I ordered some drumtacs, but any other suggestions for taming these? I'm a novice tuner and just tuned them by making the pitch near each lug sound similar, and I have the reso head tuned lower than batter. The review I saw for the UV2 made it seem like damping like moongel shouldn't be needed...
