Drum songs with only snare and cymbals?

I'm curious as to which songs do not contain any toms on pro drums (just red pad and yellow/blue/green cymbals). I know Llama is an example of that, surprisingly; what other songs are there?

Creatures ov Deception is all cymbals in both versions.

And of course, a lot of early RBN1 doesn't have tom markers even if there are toms in the song/authoring.

Another thing to think about looking for is songs with no cymbals at all. We Are Young and 29 Fingers are like that.

I'm pretty sure American Music doesn't have any cymbals

Edit: Apparently there is one, measure 79

I think Perfect Situation by Weezer has no tom markers.

Also, She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult. I don't recall for sure if there are none, but I remember hearing the story the band tells about the drummer being so drunk that they kept having to remove pieces of his kit until all he had was kick, snare, hihat and crash for that song... so I feel like there aren't any tom markers.

Also, are we talking about tom markers, or no toms? Because there are probably a lot of songs that have tom markers to represent snare flams, even if they don't have toms in the recording.

Paper Valentines by James William Roy and Do You Feel Like Breaking Up? by Mark Mallman are both early RBN songs before pro drums were properly charted, but don't have any toms in the songs.
