seems silly that you have an MMX but don't know about snare buzz. it just means that your tom is tuned to a pitch that creates frequencies sympathetic with the snare, causing the snares to vibrate too. either change the tuning on the snare or toms, or do what all drummers do, and:

I have a similar problem. My hihats vibrate when I play the toms I have to remember to open them when I'm not playing which is a lil annoying plus they ring when I do

Snares ring. There are many different methods to prevent that from happening, but none of them will get a snare to completely stop buzzing.

toms without snare buzz sounds weird though. turn your snare off and then play the toms. don't they sound dead and lacking depth to you?

^Yeah. They just kinda sound slappy. Is less that they sound weird but your just not used to hearing them like that.

I have this sometimes too. Its due to your toms being tuned close to your snare. Turn your snare off and see if it has a similar tone to your toms. You may have to tune your toms either up or down a bit.

Easy, put your drums in a larger room. If you're in a small space, you'll never get rid of sympathetic vibrations. First try tune the bottom head closer to the pitch of the top head, and if there is no improvement, tune both heads up or down.

Sorry, but I gotta completely disagree with that. I play with my snares off as often as on, and I can't get enough of the sound of my toms with the snare off. So much more depth to me. Danny Carey is a God, by the way.
