    Default Weird Tom Sound

    I have a Tama Superstar Hyper-Drive kit and i have all the other toms tuned perfectly to the way i want them, but my 12 inch rack tom sounds like paper no matter how i tune it or what head is on it. Any ideas???

    P.S i have Evans Onyx on all my toms.

    12 inch rack tom..... so, I assume 6 lugs per side. I would recommend checking your bearing edges for level. Also check your hoops for one or both being bent to the point your tension is so uneven the head wont tune. And since you have the drum assembled right now...... check tone/tension at each lug about 1" from the bearing edge, feel around the bearing edge with the head tensioned as you now have it and feel for uneven fit of the head to the drum.
