Mojo,
Don't be too timid. If you're into tuning to a note, then have at it. I'm not, and tune my drums to my ear and what feels right. Tune them up until they sound good for you, then detune. You'll get the feel after a few weeks as your heads break in. Crank them up 1 turn each lug; see how it sounds. If you want a higher pitch crank them up a half turn, and see how that works. You find the right tension as you and your new drums become friends.
