Check the pitch of the drum and re-adjust. ...
Dampen your drums. ...
Repeat.
SaviorOfZion:
There are bolts that you can twist on the side. Whether they're loose or tight will define how you play.
SaviorOfZion:
I don't know what you're playing to tell you exactly how to tune them.

I know you're supposed to use the drum key but it never sounds right
daeyang:
The first step is to prepare the drums by ensuring all the lugs and the drum heads are in good condition. If the lugs are rusty or the drum heads are damaged, they should be replaced.
Next, you need to choose the desired tuning for your drums. This is determined by the size of the drum, the type of sound you’re aiming for and the musical style you’ll be playing. Once you’ve decided on the tuning, it’s time to begin tuning the drum.
Start by placing your drum key on the lug at the top of the drum and turn it clockwise to tighten the drum head. This should be done until the head is tight but not so tight that it makes a buzzing sound.
After tightening the top head, move to the bottom head and repeat the same process. When both heads are tightened, use a drum tuner to measure the pitch or tension of the drum head. Adjust the tension of the head by turning the lugs until the desired pitch is achieved.
Repeat this step for all drums. Finally, it’s important to check the overall sound of the drums by playing a few notes. If the sound is too low, you may need to loosen the heads slightly, while if it sounds too high, you may need to tighten them. With a bit of patience and practice, you’ll soon be able to tune your drums perfectly.

I want them low pitch but the more you tighten them the louder the higher the pitch is

I just know of slit drums and log drums.
SaviorOfZion:
You might have to buy a new drum head.
SaviorOfZion:
Or even adjust the drum's internal dampening

I lost the screws for my rack Tom's so I can't raise them so it might be the reason why it's so echoey

That could be the reason. There are a lot of things that could be the reason why as I just named. Hope you get it fixed.

Tuning a drum is an essential skill for any drummer, as it can significantly impact the sound of the instrument. To begin, you will need a drum key, which is a small tool used to tighten or loosen the tension rods that hold the drumhead in place. Additionally, having a good ear for pitch is essential when tuning a drum.
First, start by loosening all of the tension rods on the drumhead. This step will help ensure that you start with a clean slate and can achieve an even tension across the drum. Once all of the rods are loose, begin tightening each rod a quarter turn at a time, working your way around the drum in a star pattern. This pattern will help ensure that the tension is even across the drumhead.
After tightening each rod, test the pitch of the drum by tapping near each tension rod with a drumstick. Listen carefully to the pitch produced by each tap. If the pitch is too high or too low, adjust the tension accordingly by tightening or loosening the appropriate tension rod. Keep repeating this process until you achieve the desired pitch and tone.
Remember to keep the tension even across the drumhead to avoid any unwanted buzzing or rattling. It's also essential to pay attention to the sound of the drum in the context of the music you're playing. Different genres of music may require different tunings for the drum, so be sure to experiment and find what works best for you and the music you're playing.
Lastly, remember that tuning a drum takes patience and practice. Don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries to get the sound you're looking for. With time and practice, you'll develop the skills you need to tune your drum quickly and effectively.
