I just think thinner shells sound better and they seem to be easier for me to tune ....and I hate tuning...LOL!
Not necessarily my berkko friend, for you see, the thicker the shell the more of those annoying overtones you remove from the tuning.

Danny Carey's drums for example are ridiculously thick (something like 26mm) and he has probably the most focussed sound in contemporary rock.
