Well that's the problem. Replace the bottom heads and get some pinstripes on them. These drums have a 45 degree bearing edge so if you replace the batter side, you also should replace the resonance side of the drums. Also get some resonance gel to stop the long ring on the tops. You'll do just fine after this. Been there and did that.
