Hi! I've got my drums in about 6 months ago, and they were tuned from the store, i don't know if that were great or something, but i saw this video. My Bass drum is tuned medium-very tight and it sounds like if u just play and a head, i can't hear the drum at all. Atm i got a small and a medium pillow in it, might help if i remove one or two?
Also, my snare seems to be loosening itself all the time, i tighten them about 3-4 times when i play for an hour, the coating is almost gone too?

Since I'm a devout Evans player, I recommend the EMAD-2-Onyx batter head combined with the EMAD-reso. Also, pick-up at least an EQ pad. Mount it inside the BD but "not touching the heads". This provides a good starting point before placing it "against the head" in an effort to shorten sustain. Please let know how it works out.

What style BD heads are you currently using? You might find replacing your current reso head with a Evans EC-reso "coated". I might do the trick for you.

at 1:40 when we loose only 1 tension rod, do we have to make all this procedure to all the tensions rods, or only one? do we need to check for even tension after this?

@StromboliKicks Often a single rod might not match the others in pitch. Raise (or lower) the single tension rod and try matching the remaining t-rods to that pitch. It's not unusual for the pitches to be slight off from each other due to the condition of the head and /or shell. get em as close as you can!
