Could be you're not "seating" the heads to the drums, which is basically what Drumsound does by standing on a new head on a drum. This loosens up any non-uniformities where the head is attached (glued) to the rim. I've found that presssing the heel of my palm into the center of the head is enough pressure, and I think standing on a drum head will greatly shorten the life span of any drum.
When you press on the head, you should hear little cracks and pops, which is the sound of the glue breaking up around the edge of the rim. The pressure also makes the head "seat" to the drum's bearing edge, as opposed to barely touching it because it's too stiff to form over the edge.
In your situation, I'd just put the remo back on the floor tom and keep the evans on the higher toms. There's no rule that says you have to use the same kind of head of every drum. I don't.
