Back on topic, I picked up the Dyna-mite last week and it's just killer for gating tom tracks as well as making drum room mics explode. Love it!
Yeah as an expander on toms is what I'm most interested in using this for. I have the hardware and use it on snare for almost every rock gig. I hope the plug comes close.
i have never used the hardware but this is an AMAZING snare / toms expander
i never considered expander a tone shaping tool, rather technical (muting unwanted sounds). but this expander gives drums PUNCH. kind of applies volume curve of cool snappy compression / limiting to the transient of opening gate
