I have a bunch of 421's (5 black, 1 grey) and 2 441's. Although I mostly use the 421's on toms (because there are more of them) If the drummer has just a 2 tom set up I always much prefer the 441's on the toms.

441's are also fantastic pointing up under Timbali's. Also most hand percussion. I think of 441's as slightly more upmarket 421's although 421 (all flavors) are still FKN great mic's)

a grey 421 (straight up) and 57 (on an angle) time aligned up close on a speaker cab is my first call setup for heavy rockers.
