I should get a chance to actually try my M80 out on a snare drum next month.

I was advised about 7 years ago on another forum regarding phase of the snare mics was to invert the phase of all the "top" mics and leave the Kick and bottom snare as is.

So that would mean inverting all mics that are above the snare (including overheads). It worked really well for my recording at the time.

I often find mucking around with the phase non different things helps a lot. Quite often my tom mics in relation to my overheads determines what phase my overheads are at.
