I probably haven't been paying close enough attention to this thread, so forgive the question...what is your preference? I'd personally love to use an e22s on all the toms, but that's a fairly pricey approach, and 421's usually yield a pretty good result to my ears.

Old Skool, I'd gate them, but that's always a PITA. In PT yes, I'll crop out the sections where toms aren't playing. BUT, not all pieces of music flow well with that approach, so.....

Now, it's all about the CAD M177/179's for me on toms. They sound fantastic IMO.
