that and making the drummer raise their cymbals, boy do they cry when you do this.

I can't really blame the drummer for that. While I understand completely why, they are likely inexperienced in the studio and probably not understanding why that's necessary. They are feeling the pressure to begin with and then to have to think about were the cymbals are on top of everything else would probably set me off too in their shoes. They will learn though and adapt accordingly.
I prefer to not edit the silence if possible. Sounds more natural to me
