I would try throwing half a moongel on each tom and see if he likes that.
Well, this was pre-moongel days (at least, I'd never heard of it!) lol. Somehow, I don't think half a moongel would have been enough.
Dampening has a different effect than tuning, right? I remember trying Evans Hydraulic heads on my old Rogers kit in the late 70's. I tuned fairly high even then. The hydraulic heads affected the attack and timbre of the sound, but those drums still rang an amazingly long time.
