Mono overhead?

The trick is to think of a drum kit as ONE instrument

Bingo!!!

I do it all the time. It eliminates mono translation problems (a truly great thing, if it will be on the radio).

I'm not disputing what you're saying in general, especially after reading the "think of drums as one instrument" statement...but...I don't know what mono has to do with radio. Are there still AM Radio stations playing music??? Seems to me that if you get your song played on the radio, there's still more of a chance it will be in stereo anyway.
