No bleeding at all into the other mics and then you can change the cymbals to fit the mix better in the end I suppose. This is kind of odd, though, I find that done more with the bass drum and toms than with cymbals.Rickson Gracie said:what is the exact benefit of recording the cymbals seperately? is it to edit and mix them easier?
Could be, but you'd still have the cymbals bleeding into the tom mics if you did it that way.donkeystyle said:sounds like a job for drumagog or soundreplacer.

donkeystyle said:so gog the toms too.
KevinDrummer said:The problem is the overheads. Overheads capture the cymbals, but also a good deal of toms. Gogging leaves you with only one sound and everything else is either silent or converted to that sound. Usually it's undesirable to make your cymbals sounds into tom sounds.
With tight pattern mics and individual cymbal mics, the problem can be reduced, but never really eliminated.
