No matter how high or low I tune it. I've tried low, medium, and high snare tensions and nothing works. I've even tried a torque key, and still nothing. Not only does it have an obnoxious overtone, it also has a "papery" sound to it, kind of like it has a page of newspaper on top of it. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help.
Thanks,
