way too much to read. put on top head. tighten till it screams. removed one lug. put on bottom head. tighten till it almost screams. snap those fucking snare wires on tight. blast away.

I know how you feel, and trust me, before i bought my current drumset, that's all i did too. Now i follow the instructions in that "bible" and it turns out great. It does take FOREVER to tune drums that way though. They have you tuning everything fine-tuned perfect with the top and bottom reads being relevantly in tune, then leave them over night to set. (what this does is make a starting crease in the drumhead, doing it while the drum is perfectly in tune makes the crease totally even, and this helps the drums stay in tune longer. (big difference i might add, now my drums stay in tune for a couple days of practice... which is pretty good.) and then the next day you take off the heads and do it all over again. It takes over an hour for each drum, each day. It's a lot of work, but it's good for your ears as a drummer to do it this way a couple times, it helps you to tune them quickly when need be at a show.
