Thanks Chris!

22"W, noted, what about deep standards?

It's seems the virgin/non-virgin is not so relevant for you (no pun intended!). Anyone else??

I tend to edit toms depending on type of drummer/music, so probably no big deal for toms either. (picking up vibrations from kick, etc...)

Virgin kicks?
Well virgin shells were designed to resonate freely without hardware.
This works brilliantly with toms.
Bass drums tend to be damped in some way, either with the type of head used, or with some material like a pillow or small blanket.
If you use any damping, the virgin bass drum sort of loses it's relevance.
Having said that, I have mostly virgin bass drums. A little more because I like my mounted toms on stands so I can position them more flexibly.
