one problem is that if the heads are adjusted unevenly , there are numerous areas of the heads that have differing resonant frequencies-----at one t-rod it is such and such and at another such and such , with the centre of the head responding to the average, so there is almost bound to be some resonant overlap.once it starts it gets multiplied by other drum components, that on their own would be fairly silent. tuning each head with precision , and this means 1/8 turns or less sometimes and getting each head as close to uniformity around the circle as possible will often clear things up.-----generally keep toms low and the snare high, with the tom heads fairly even and the snare side head about a third behind the batter side. ---but getting that snare drum even will often take it away from any effects from the tenor tom. small toms are often closer to the snare in pitch so can cause a lot of trouble.
if all else fails, just plaster duct tape all over everything that could potentially move and get a pair of 1 A sticks .
