I think most guys do but for me, lately it has been a Coles 4040 over snare and an R121 "ride side."
I heard Fletcher say something about liking the results from a non matched pair of overheads for rock. I don't always agree with him but on this one I do.
First in a standard rock mix I seriously doubt that someone is going to notice a huge difference.
Second... I don't know.. seems to add a little character to the drums with a little different vibe from each side of the kit... or it is compensating for my bad ears? LOL But that is really only when they are soloed, as I said in the mix it is a pretty small difference.... It's only rock and roll.
I say, if you want to see how the technique works for you in your studio and you don't have a matched pair don't sweat it.
