Hey guys, just about finished "tuning" my drum set. I say tuning in quotations because I am new to this and used a drum dial to get a ballpark. I tuned my bass drum with the drum dial at 70 (as recommended online). On the pedal side, all the lugs marked 70 except one which was at 74. The funny thing about it is the lug is essentially loose, yet it is the tightest side? i turned it just enough so it wouldn't be loose on the ring. I did hand tighten all the lugs first and tuned in star formation, so I am pretty sure I did it evenly. This is a new drumset, granted its an entry level pearl, but could something be warped?
Any advice welcome.
edit: I also said hard in the title because the exact opposite happened with my snare. One lug was much tighter than the rest but still under tuned, I cranked it (drum key) enough to get it in tune with the rest of the drum, but the difference is much more noticeable with the bass drum.
