First , welcome to Drum Chat ,and nice lookin Pearls .
How do you know theyre tuned the same , how do you know they have the same amount of tension on each lug . Thats the 1st thing I would like to know .
I wouldnt worry too much about making sure theyre tuned identically ,its better that you get the 2nd one at least sounding good to your ear .
From the pictures they are facing the same direction with nothing in front to obstruct the sound , so I dont know why you cant get the sound you want from your 2nd BD .
( try getting rid of the Bon Jovi poster and replace it with Garth Brooks ).....LOL
Good luck with it , lets see what the others may suggest .
