So I'm going to begin recording, mixing and mastering my band's new EP in a few weeks and I was thinking about taking a different approach to recording cymbals/overheads. Generally, I just place one overhead mic on each side of the kit and try to achieve the best stereo image I can. I just use my overhead mics to capture cymbals and I really don't use them to give the kit depth or to capture that "overhead" image of the kit. Since my drummer uses a very simple cymbal set up (hi hats, one ride and one crash), I was thinking of close(r) micing each cymbal in order to eliminate that much more bleed and also in order to have more control over each cymbal's volume and where it sits in a stereo image. I'm basically just asking if this is a method that some of you/some engineers use and whether it's a decent approach or not? Any help would be great! Thanks!
