Ok, so I've got an amazing kit, it really is (in my eyes) but it's also large.
It's a Mapex with all Remo heads, and all of my toms sound great, except the 8"...
Running up from the 16 to the 10 they all sound right they go up in more or less equal scale but when I get to my 8 it's too flat, and if I detune it gets slack and if I raise then it gets too high pitch.
I don't use a tuner and how I normally get my sound is tighten to finger tight, give them a quick run over and adjust if I need to. I don't tend to key them overly unless it's needed.
I've tried doing the same with my 8" with no luck.
Any suggestions to get it sounding in line with the others?
