This tuning was for minimum resonance,you can also tune it in between if you want a bit more resonance.For me this setting is a bit too much,i like a bit of resonance,else the drum sounds dead and it's like your hitting carton boxes.I don't need to use any damping,just on the 16" floortom i have 1 moongel.Also the drum is tuned in notes,from 8" 3E, 10" 3C, 12" 2G#, 13" 2F#, 14"FT 2E, 16"FT 2C,22"BD 1D,second BD a bit higher.This takes the sound of the drum to another level.
Also have 4 different snare drums.All Tama,these are tuned different depending on the material used.
Tama warlord valkyrie, 14"x6" 15 ply maple 13mm,very thick and heavy maple snare tuned to 3G#
Tama John Tempesta signature,14"x7" 2mm brass snare tuned high to a 3A#,this is a very loud snare.
Tama starclassic bubinga 14"x5.5" 9 ply bubinga tuned to 3F#.
Tama Mike Portnoy sig,12"x5" 1mm steel.Also tuned to 3A",used as a second snare on the side of the kit,my son uses this for the more South American stuff like Salsa,Bosa Nova,Samba.
All drums and snares have die cast hoops,i prefer these over flanged hoops because they stay better in tune.
As for heads all evans except the 4 octobans which are Remo 6" pinstripes.
For Bassdrum batter head Evans EMAD2,comes with 2 different dampening rings.Resonant head is a Emad RESO,has a mic hole with a small dampening ring inside,which believe it or not makes alot of difference.
Toms and Floortom are all EC2S batter heads and EC2 Resonant.
Snare batter heads a mix of ST Dry and HD Dry with all Evans 300 resonant heads.
Cymbals are all Sabian,a mix of HHX,AAX and HH except for the second hihat which is a paiste.
Also a tip on using a mic for the floortom(s),always point the mic to the center of the batter head else you will get waaay to much resonance.Try it out,you will hear the difference.
