Well man Im sorry your going to have to hear this because you have probably heard it before hahahaha there is no "right" way to tune your drums, you just have to kind of experiment until you find the sound you like. It is a pain in the butt trust me, it takes awhile but once you find the sound you like its not hard to tune to that sound again. Or you can buy something like the DrumDial which supposedly works magnificently:
DDB swears by the evans torque key:
Sometime this week im going to pick one up. Oh and yes wrinkles are not good in your heads, in my 13" mounted tom the only way i thought it sounds good was pretty loose so i left it to where there was just a little bit of wrinkles left, the head got destroyed, its completely dented all over the place and unusable untill i get a new head. So i myself agree with DDB no wrinkles haha. good luck
