I have no experience with miking drumsets but... (well, I could stop  
at this point right now, eh? :-)

...according the the description the 16A is a cardioid. If you cannot  
gate it with the other mics, even if the drummer does not play kick,  
snare and hihat at once - does it probably aim to the kit or is it  
too far away from the hihat? Should be rather close and aiming to the  
outside if possible. That can be a problem with a furious drummer  
though...
