Ok so my dhol was perfectly tuned cause my teacher gave it to me like that
but I had to take the head off to put stuff in it so i could go perform in NY.
and since i put it back on, it hasn't sounded the same.
so can someone help me tune it or give me tips, or some indicators ?

If it has hooks, use a wrench (probably 10mm). Start at 1 hook and tighten it 1 full turn, then (going clockwise) skip one and tighten the next 1 full turn.

Do this until you've done a full circle. Try it out and see how it sounds.
