I've been experimenting with the Glyn Johns recording method. I've found that If I have the left hand overhead mic (the one above the sanre) higher than the crash cymbal it sounds 'gongy'. If I lower the mic level with the cymbal I get the sound I want from the cymbal, the only thing is that now the mic is in the way and I keep hitting every so often with my sticks.

I know I could move the mic to the other side of the crash, but I like the stereo spread that the Glynn Johns method gives me.

Does anyone have any ideas, like using eq maybe? or do I just have to be careful not to hit the mike. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
