i got some great results with a sennheiser e604
very little HH bleed, great snare tone.

use a gate or just take advantage of the bleed and dont use a hihat mic

 

[JazzMang]

unfortunately, if you gate, if there are any snare hits in unison with the HH(which I'm sure there are), then it will sound terrible.
better off choosing a mic with a tighter pickup pattern, or experiment with mic positioning so that you get less bleedover.

Invention/Drum Mic Experiment

I took some cylinders of thick card board cut them to size and put 4 slits in them about half the length of the tube and put elastics on it. i made them for drums mics. their almost just like paper cups around the mics and they kinda float there around the mic and isolate it a bit more. i dont have any fancy compressors or preamps just a mixer mics and a computer. just a stock soundcard so i had to do the best i could with isolation. i think gives the drums a slight bit more mid too.

PS. i'll post pix later if i remember

My Solution Is To Use The High Hat Mic To Phase Out The Bleed On The Snare!!! If That Doesn't Solve The Problem I Will Put Additional Analogue Mics On The Snare--sometimes As Many As Three Or Four!!! How's That For Analogue Style??? My Favorite High Hat Mic Is The Shule Ms-75 Long Diagram Condensator Coupled With An Electrovoce Re-21c!!!

Not For Mere Mortals I Can Assuage Thee!!!!!!

Try putting some muscle behind the snare. Sounds like your just tapping at it. Whack the fucker!
