Kevin, try tuning the resonant head to the same settings as the batter. When tuning the toms, if the resonant head is tuned differently (if I remember right, it would be slightly lower) you can get that "boing" sound. For my toms, I like my resonant heads to be tuned to the same tone as my batter. It could also be that you just are sensitive to the sound of those stock heads. I liked them, personally, but you might not. Could be just the difference in our ears. Then again, it could be that tuning them different might do the trick.
