Use the envelope property to shape the sound. You can adjust the release for a more natural short tom decay. To add a bit more realism, shift the pitch approx -0.02 cents as the tom is decaying.

That is great advice Jord. I didn’t realise that was possible. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow. A nice Xmas present!

Happy Christmas.

In addition you could try to increase the attack time slightly. Ony a few ms but this tames the attack sound, a little bit like dampening an acoustic drum.

For the tea towel effect, then yes, increase in attack time.

I would leave the pitch envelope alone in that case.
