Either adjust the nut you tightened in the drum, or adjust the cables where they come up through the floor into the center console.

You may have loosened it too much. Have you tried breaking by going back / forward a few times so the auto tensioner can work?

Also, please turn off the caps lock.

You don't want to really go thru auto tensioner. Take off the drumps mark their posstion (on studs) and use a little adjuster to make them tighter.

you can loosen up DA thing too DUDE. You might also want to machine your drums, and don't mess with cables you will create big drag on your drums.
