IDK, Ringo tuned his drums pretty low later on, and he doesn't sound depressed. But I guess tuning the toms to a perfect(ish) 5th will sound "happier." You could try tuning the top heads a little higher than the bottom heads, for a more tonal sound, if that's your idea of happy.
With good reason-- Exhibit A for theory that is totally useless to musicians, there.My brain is melting.......?
