First Time Tuning

Hey all,

I just finished restoring my first acoustic kit (1981 Roger's XP8). I've never owned an acoustic, nor have I ever tuned one. Wondering how I did/tips.

I plan to play rock music, and thinking I'll need to change out the cymbals (not sure if it's the acoustics in my shop or if these aren't suited for rock).

I've only been playing ekits for about 6 months. So Complete noob to acoustics.

Also playing tips are welcome. I feel like I can't determine the opening size for HH, for half-open/open, and don't find it sounding good when I play songs that require it to be open like Metallica songs.

If it's more the cymbals not being suited, can you recommend cymbal packs? The cymbals are iirc: Zildjian 15" New Beat HHs from 70s to 81 Zildjian 20" Ride 1960 Zildjian 20" medium thin crash late 70's

All Avedis stamped (think I was told that makes the A's before they were branded as such)
