Default Re: Drum Overhead Miking?

I agree, but keep in mind that since the over heads (just as their name says) stay on top of the drum kit, it's almost unavoidable to have some bleeding of Hi-hat in the ride mic, I mean , in my opinion they shouldn't be used to pick up cymbals only (as many use to do), but the overall stereo image of the kit; also the Hi-hat falls in a tricky frequency range, very easy to bleed into other mic's pickup.
