Is it possible to get absolute separation on hihats?
I have tried contact mics, of course kills resonance if attached, and not a good signal beneath bell (of lower hihat).
There is Zildjian's Gen16 method - cymbal full of holes where a type of piezo can be attached through (but these are shrill tinny hats).
Are there any other ways known to get an absolutely clean cymbal sound? Without possible spill from other live instrumentation?
