Two things:
1. I can appreciate your approach of "tune tune tune..." However, when you stick a mic right on that head, there are inherent resonances in the drum that, often times, only cloud the purity of the drum...regardless of the tuning.
2. Many bands will look at you like you are #%&*ing crazy if you say "yeah, no tom mics." The sad truth is, for rock, pop, country, ect...putting mics on the toms is pretty necessary.
But all the same, I really dig your philosophy
