Especially the snare...I just recently removed the plastic washers and replaced with metal ones...I noticed that on all the tuning how to's online it was too tight for the plastic washers to work. I tightened up both sides and now am getting the best sound I ever have, which the snares themselves the same or a bit looser. Before tightening the head, it was ringing MORE. I'm going to be recording soon...
Thinking of tuning toms medium, and an 8 lug snare 'high', although maybe I've been missing the boat all these years and my new version of high is normal for most people? Also do you tune your snare batter or reso higher?
For example, this video:

My toms are an order of a magnitude less tight, with higher reso tuning.
