I've heard these are great for the hats: AKG C451, SM81, KM84
I've never mic'd the hi hats though, never felt the need to. If anything, there's probably too much of them in the OHs.
Thanks, good point, I just want a stereo cymbal sound, I have a large condenser I can use on one side, maybe I should just use another large condensor? IDK. I'll google those mics, thanks for the reply.
You mean stereo cymbals from some source other than the OHs ? If so, that sounds like it has the potential for a bunch of phase issues. I'd experiment with OH settings first, they can make a huge difference. Try spreading them out more, panning them to extremes, or adjusting your cymbals so that each cymbal is closer to a certain OH.
