I bought a new custom made kit with 5x10 and 6x13 toms. The stock skins are Evans G2 Coated with Genera Reso resonant skins. I can not get them to tune at all.
When I try to tune them the sound is really weird which I assume is because of the shortened sizes of the toms. It's like after the initial hit the tom will echo a loud second note out of nowhere a split second after which I don't like at all. Hard to explain but I'm sure someone with short-stack toms must've run into this problem also.
A side note, I have tried tuning the toms through a very wide tuning range and the sound only appears to stop at the point where the batter skin is at wrinkle stage. And I have also tried the Evans EC1 on the toms to no avail.
Thanks in advance.
