How do you stop drums from resonating so much?

I have a Pearl Session Elite kit with Remo Pinstripe heads on batter and Remo Diplomats on the resonating side. The resonating is just way too 'boomy' and I just want the clear tone of when you hit the drum and there is a resonance for about half a second with a really nice, melodic tone. How do I do that? What At the moment, my drums are resonating for a bout 3 seconds longer than it should. Help!

Okay no disrespect to the other answers but muting your drums with tape, cotton, cloth, etc. can be a real problem if over done. If drums are not tuned properly it will take a good bit of dampening to effectively reduce ring and then you get the dreaded "cardboard box" effect. You do not want this. Learning to properly tune drums is very hard and some drummers never master it. It takes tons of time, patience and experimentation. One thing you need to understand is that the higher you tune the drum the more overtone you will get. The best advice I can give you is to tune lower and use Aquarium Performance II heads, your bottom heads should be fine as is. If you want to tune higher you'd better be ready to spend many hours trying to learn the art of drum tuning. Make sure all lugs are at the same tension by hitting the head (with a stick) a couple inches below each lug all the way around the head. It should sound exactly the same at each lug. Generally tuning your bottom head lower will also help with overtones.
