New-ish to MIDI... I use Drumagog and it's usually pretty good with snare and kick (triggered from real playing) but toms it seems to always blow ass at. No matter how I adjust resolution or whatever I either get zero hits or a thousand lol. I'm thinking of just mapping the tom notes with midi and triggering this with drumagog , would this work better? Is MIDI triggering always flawless or can it fuck up hits as well?
 
MIDI > audio, for triggering. Way more accurate, no bleed, easier to edit.
 
yes, it's much easier.
it's even MORE easier if you have a trigger signal for the toms. seeing how it has nice and defined transients, just run a audio-midi converter which you record to a new track, compare the midi track to the trigger track to make sure there are no false triggers, and then sample replace from the midi input. that way you're guaranteed to have no false triggering, something that can occur with trigger signals.
