yeah the emporers. but they were pinstripe. i dont have much experience with the pinstripes but i think i need studio rings or something to stop the vibrating crazyness. or maybe just taped on tissue paper.

Okay so, you bought Clear Pinstripes.  Now my questions to you are as follows:  How long have you been playing drums?  Do you know how to tune drums?  What wood is your Pearl Sessions? (not that it really matters)  Is it an SMX or an SBX? (SMX = Maple wood and SBX = Birch wood)  Tell the truth...we're here to help not to make fun of you.  Serious.

well ive been playin the drums since i was 2 which would be about 13 years. im 15 now. this is not my first time tuning drums, ive tuned probably like 25 sets by now. and they usually come out very good. ive tuned my churches set about 4 times and ive never had this problem with heads. im not totally sure but i wanna say its birch. its a very light wood color, and i think maple is darker?

I have been at it for about 15 years now and I still suck at tuning... Its nothing to be ashamed of either.

That almost always in one of the problems man! When I head is fully seated it sounds ALOT better than when its new! Give the glue sometime to wear off and then see what you think.. Check your tension Rods too!...
