Hey guys,
I had my drums tuned pretty tight for Jazz stuff, but I decided to retune them from scratch to get them tuned a good bit lower. The floor tom tuned pretty straightforward, but the rack tom was a bit harder. After giving the drum a 1/4 turn past finger tight, it seems that there’s 2 lugs across from each other that are tighter and higher pitched than the rest of them. Is this normal? Also, I took the head off to check the rim and it seems to be not perfectly flat as measured on a glass kitchen table. Could this also be the culprit? The heads are G1’s.
