Idi and Danny are BOTH right... on one hand your kick is going to exert a different transient waveform than your toms or snare because you (usually, anyway) have the kick mic accepting the transient from the head on the positive cycle, while your toms & snare are (usually, again) accepting the transient either on the negative cycle or some kind of combination of the positive & negative, depending on how fast your chosen mics & preamps are able to react. At the same time, use your ears, not your eyes... what sounds more "right" to you? The kit is both many instruments unto themselves, and one aggregate instrument at the same time. Do you really want to phase-flip & nudge tracks, and all kinds of shit like that? Or does it sound fine just the way you've mic'ed it, assuming you've done a good job there?
