Remo black x heads

I have a acquired a Tama SLP Bubinga and started to experiment with heads. I tried the Evans G2 and Remo power stroke 3 and they sound sweet on it. I recently tried the Remo black x and it seemed like for me to get a good tone this thing had to be cranked. I typically start with a drum dial to get ballpark and go for pitch from there where it seems to be around 89 - 91 for the other heads. On the black X I was at 94-95 when I started getting a good tone. Is this the characteristic of these heads, they love to be cranked to sing? My resonant head stays at 83.
