Unfortunately I mainly only get to work with bad drummers.

You are wasting your time, then. I hate to be blunt, negative, etc but I've become a little bit bitter about working with people who don't work as hard on their craft as I do. Honestly, I don't remember your exact situation, but do whatever you can to get great drummers in your place. Micing and tuning mean very little. Of course it depends on where you are going.
I must admit that I'm VERY frustrated right now with some of my clients.
The bottom of the toms or inside the toms is nothing more than a trick. If a song calls for it, you use it. It's as simple as that. I must admit that I've only mic'd the bottom of the toms a few times and I must admit that it added quite a bit in those situations. If you are looking for specifically what it does, I can't exactly say. It gives more tone and less attack. Now, I'm talking about with the bottom heads on. I've never tried the inside the tom technique although I'd totally love to.
