dude...........tighten your lugs on the top skin as if it were a car tire.
this side,that side,this side.......don't go crazy on it,just nice and taught.
if i hold one of my sticks between my thumb and index finger,right near the end of the stick.....and just lightly drop it to the skin right at all lug locations...the stick should give me 3-4 bounces.......that's where i like mine.
then...........to tune it.........you do the same as above but on the under skin....this is where the drum will go up or down in tone.
hope that helps,good luck and keep on playin' man.
