An excellent post Chris! If we stay humble and never assume that we know all that there is, it's amazing what we'll learn along the way. Congrats on the new tuning skills!
I Had A Tuning Lesson....
I been having drum lessons (how to improve your playing) of late but this is different.
Any drummers like me that are still learning, I recommend that you do what I did this morning... go & have a lesson in tuning your drums. I learnt more this morning about drum tuning, hardware & general maintenance that I reckon is almost as valuable as playing properly.
I've come home, dismantled my set, spent a few hours mucking about tuning etc, put everything back together & WOW... it sounds so much better. I'm under no illusion that I know all there is to know about tuning but after spending an hour with a professional I've improved things 100%.

Re: I Had A Tuning Lesson....
As many of us in here have suggested, there is a lot to know about properly tuning our drums. For what it's worth, there is an information packed DVD: The Drum Tuning System by Mike Michalkow. It is in depth and does not assume that the viewer is likely to have any previous experience. In other words, he takes us from the absolute beginning of what it is we need knoiw about drums, drum heads, required tools etc. and how to tune according to the music we are to play: Rock to Latin to Jazz. I have used this system with delight and highly recommend it.
There's a lot to be said for Time Honored tradition and value.

Re: I Had A Tuning Lesson....
Grats on the new found knowledge
Years back I was convinced I needed a new kit since mine had terrible sound. Then I learned to tune, got some new G2's, and it was like having entirely new drums. A little maintenance does wonders
