Relax and take a deep breath. Clear your mind for a little while. I'll give you a suggestion.
I own a 9 piece Gretsch USA Maple Custom drum kit. I use Remo Pinstripes all around the kit. If you think that a 45 bearing is hard, you can't imagine what it's like to tune the 30 degree. You got the Drum Dial, that's a step in the right direction. As far as the tuning spectrum goes, it's up to the individual. I find that it's easier to tune from high tension spectrum to a lower one give the best results. This way the heads are seated tightly and give you a full guarantee that as you go to a lower tuning range you'll are the only one that will know when to stop. Trust your ears to tell you when you get to your taste in the sound results. I hope you got the tuning chart for that tool, it's really helpful. If not, go to the website to print one out at DrumDial.com.

When it comes to drums here at the forum, we are drumming siblings helping, exchanging ideas and even at times, get into each others hair. But the end result is always a good one.
