I wish that Greg had said something about the relationship between the coordinator rod that is farthest away from the drum head and the truss rod adjustment, and how the relationship between those to get the proper string height above the fretboard positioned for optimal play. I think this is a huge factor. I have found that I have had to make a coordinator rod adjustment to get the neck angle to come up closer to being just a little below the drum head plane because it was too angled. Then with a little bit of bow in the neck from the truss rod it gets everything just about right. If the neck angle is too downward, then the strings don't resonate well through the drum head because the string resonance may be affected by its resultant proximity to the fretboard...the bow in the neck AND the downward neck angle both play a role in string height, and both are important in relationship to each other to prevent buzzing, difficulty fretting etc...
