Which part of the kit should I move these beets to?

Not quite sure what sounds you want to wind up with and so I’m not sure that there’s any right answer.
If you are looking to approximate the sounds and timbre of Toms 2 and 4, continue to experiment until you find a sound that pleases you. You can try moving 41 Tom 4 down to 41-Udu Open; move 48 Tom 4 to any of the bongos, maybe to 34-Bongo Low - muffled.
You can preview what the various World Percussion drum instruments sound like by opening the Drum Set Maker and auditioning the samples of each drum instrument.
I think what I need is a mellow drum kit that works more like all the other kits.
I’d be willing to pay someone to make me a Cajon-type drum set using World set as a starting point.
Have you tried some of the cajon kits available on the forum?
