I would like to know what would be a good microphone to use for recording hi-hat? Usually people will use their highest quality mic on the overheads. Since overheads pick up cymbals, wouldn't you use the same high quality mic on hi-hat too?

its not like i dont like the hihat, its just that it keeps creeping in my snare mic. how do u pros keep it out?
thanx,
jal

Since you guys know a lot of the hardware side, you must know a trick or two on the mic placing science...
I am recording a drum set, everything is fine except for the snare mic getting too much hi-hat signal, I am using a venerable SM57 into an Avalon 737SM (mercenary), using the snare preset...any suggestions..
