propoganda and another accesory not needed...
I think it all depends on the drum, and how it's mounted.
Now, on the other side of the coin, I recently purchased a 1985 Yamaha Recording Custom kit (pre-YESS), and those toms sound amazing with their mounts drilled right into the shell. One thing I did notice though, is that on the smaller, less (naturally) resonant toms, the further in the drum the rod goes, the more depth and resonance you lose. This is very noticeable on my 10" tom, but my 13" is almost all the way up to the hilt on its mount, and seems to be doing just fine, and even needs half a Moon Gel to keep its resonance in check. Who knows though? Maybe some RIMS would make them sound even better. I just like not having all that extra weight/mass on my drums.
Then there are those that discuss how their drums have suspension mounts, or radial bridge technology (etc) and then put two-ply pre-muffled heads on. Give me a break. Go and do your research. You can't have it both ways.
