Honestly I love and enjoy drumming. I want to have a great sounding kit but it seems like its impossible for me. After playing a soundpercusion for 3 years I though it would be great to upgrade. I got a pdp x7 all maple set and remo pinstripes on top and ambassadors on bottom and an Axis longboard double pedals it took me 8 months to save up for this so far set looking to getting better cymbals soon. For both sides for the 7 piece the heads were about 200 bucks and the set is about 800. I feel like I spend a 1000 dollars to play on trash cans. For the past week I spend at the very least 20 hours trying to tune my 10 inch and 12 inch tom but as you can see no success. There isn't a warm sound instead I get echos, boing and all that jazz and it doesn't sound like a drum at all, it is so frustrating that sometimes I stop and have to walk away because no matter what I do it won't work. When tune I finger tighten the lugs and go 2 times around the drum in a star pattern doing 1/4 turns. After that I match up the tensions using a drum dial(doesn't really help that much but it does to some extent) I want to play and practice with a nice sounding set so I can enjoy it and not hear "BOING" when I hit my toms which makes me want to vomit. please help on any tips
p.s I used my sisters guitar tuner and it said that my batter head and reso head were an A note, 470 Hz and the drumdial setting are 75 on reso and 76 on batter
(bought the set with my own money earning $7.50/hour so you can see that I am pissed off that my hard earned money is being wasted)
The music style that I prefer is all types of metal, trash metal, death metal, metalcore and deathcore
Thank you for your help
