Tom tom help...

They're a little boxy. They sound like raw unfucked-with toms. I'd start by looking to EQ out a little low mids....usually around 400-600hz. IMO that frequency range doesn't have much use in toms or kick drums. Scooping some of that out usually tightens and deepens the tom tone. It gets the boxy dirty shit out of it. Then compress as needed for further tightening or bringing out more body. Start with gentle compression across the whole drum buss and see how the toms react.

There’s a great plugin by analog obsession (free) called SweetDrums that does wonders for toms. It’s a mixture of multiband compression and saturation.

If you want them more "wet" sounding, dip around 900hz and add a high shelf around 8k.

I've just tried this cut on my toms - made a fairly deep, relatively narrow cut centred on around 400hz. Immediate improvement.

I have a tom heavy track that I've not been able to get to sound right. For some reason I thought I had these weird boxy guitars and I was trying to mess with them for ages. I just applied a cut at 400hz on each of my toms and then another similar cut on my tom buss and the boxiness has gone from that section of the mix! Sorted.
