Any tips or tricks for metal maybe your favorite setup. What mics do you let bleed were? Just some basics for a newb with dfhs.
 
I use 5 different instances of DFHS:

1 for Kick (DW)
1 for Snare (Ludgwig 5 on C&V)
1 for hats (Zildjian 2 on C&V)
1 for toms (Sonor)
1 for cymbals (cant remember but it's a combination of C&V and DFHS)

The bulk of the signal is the close mikes, but blend in the overheads and room mic to taste. The separation is to control how much I can blend the room and o/heads. I use the split mics on cymbals as well.
