Anyone use Remo Coated Controlled Sounds on toms?

I'm looking for a coated 1 ply for my bop kit that's a bit more controlled than an Ambassador but not as fat as an Emperor (currently have coated G2's on atm). Thinking about getting a coated C.S for the toms but I've never seen these used on toms, only snares. There's plenty of examples of clear black dots on toms but basically none for the coated version. Why?

Wasn't Bonham using the non coated version of those?

Yes. Black Dots were very popular in the 70's.

I have used them in the past on toms, they sound good but lack a certain something for my tastes. I like my coated heads to be uncontrolled. I like the clear CS on toms for rock as they are a little brighter and fatter than their coated counterparts. I will add the CS coated on a snare sounds really good. Tony William was a huge CS guy both batter and reso side. His tom sound was very distinct, he definitely cranks them up.
