Drum Tuning

So i just got my new set of Ludwigs last night and there pretty sweet. I tuned up the snare drum and it sounds fine, but i was having some trouble with the toms. I cant get them to sound right. Does anybody have any tips on tuning them?

Ive been looking for some drum dampeners for quite some time but cant find any. Even my local music store doesnt have any. Does anybody know of any sites that has these?

Tap the stick by the rim right next to the nut where you tune them.
Make sure that sound is the same by each one.
ITs not good to have them uneven.
