Beat me to it! I still use 604s myself, but I've heard nothing but great reviews of the 179s. I've yet to see bad press from anyone and they're being touted over 421s.

Yep. Plenty of times. They sound good, not as great as the M179's but still pretty good.
Sometimes I find it annoying to make all the tom mikes sound similar as they have a different response, but I like the Audix D series packs, DP Elite 8 is awesome but costly, put Audix D6 on all toms if you can afford it...and if not...

57s do rock though.

Speaking strictly of floor toms, what would you guys recommend? Right now I'm between the D4 and the Beta 52, though there's always the Sennheiser e602/e902 (what's the difference between these two, if the price difference is only $30? If the 9 is supposed to be better than the 6, I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't go for it...). And I've used a D112 at school extensively, and really don't like it, so that's out.
And I should mention that I'd probably wanna use it on a bass cab as well.

A gooood buddy of mine who also happens to be a phenomenal drummer/producer recommended me strongly the Beta 52. I have yet to try it out but he was die hard with it as being a great mic for kick/floor toms and bass cabs as well. Check it out.
