It's like tuning a drum lower and it changes the rebound.

Exactly that! People wouldn't expect it to make any difference, but it's huge!

I was just watching Jaco Pastorious video from long ago, where he said, when I want to play fast, I pluck the strings down near the bridge. And I'm like, OMG, I never thought of that, but he's completely right. Down at the bridge, where the strings are anchored, they hardly wobble at all. At the middle of the string, they really move a lot. You have to fight all that, because you are actually forcing it to move a different direction.
With a drum, you're actually fighting with a lot of moving air, trying to get it to move differently...
