Let's talk about frequency response

what does this really matter? I see a lot of mics for kickers that have a 30hz-20khz rating, if its for a bass drum wouldn't I want a 20hz-15khz? the lower frequencies that is, and for over head I would want something like 50-20k wouldn't I? that way the overhead don't pickup the bass drum and everything else going on.

And another thing I'm having tons of trouble hearing about is, should I mic my hihats? how important is it?
 
Sounds like you are talking about frequency range instead of response. Response describes the peaks and valleys between the lower and upper limits. A flat response (no peaks or valleys) would be ideal unless you want the mic to color the sound in a given range. I don't think any mics are PERFECTLY flat in their response, though.

Nor are your ears, or analog tape, or you (the list goes on). But you can be a square.

Although, Earthwork's QT1s are the closest I've ever seen on paper.
