Hi All

Wonder if some of you clever fella's can help. When miking a drum kit(I'm
pretty new at this Live Drum stuff BTW), I 've got a good Bass drum sound
using an AKG D112 a Shure Beta 56a on the snare and Audix Tom mikes and
overheads, no problems with any of these , however I have a Shure 16A
condenser on the hihat and can't keep the rest of the kit out of it no
matter what gating I do, it was suggested to me as a good mike for the hihat
but I'm not sure, the sound is nice but,, spill overkill,,, any suggestions
out there on isolating the hat at least to an acceptable degree.

Cheers
