This might be a little "duh," but...

When the bleed isn't too bad, I tend to get some great results using a gate in Cubase 4.

This depends on how the toms are played though...if the drummer is doing a fill every so often, I find that a fast attack / slower release gate works just fine when paired with a subtle reverb.

However, if the verse consists of "jungle beat" toms, and the chorus is crash/kick/snare, I will often manually remove the tom bleed from the chorus...fade in, fade out....this is the beauty of the digital domain my friend.
