This week's Knowledge Wednesday tip is to manually remove silence and bleed from your Tom drum tracks. 

This method is much cleaner than gating and it is usually easier to achieve your desired result. 

Using careful editing and smart fades, you can achieve Tom drum tracks with unwanted silence and very minimal bleed and by doing this, you can focus your EQ and compression decisions because you will only be hearing the Toms being hit.
