| seriously, depends on music style.
The decay of crashes, the pitch and loudness of the HH are all things that contributes to important choices to make.
I would tend to think that if the HH is to dominant in your OH mix, it is either the HH, the drummer, or the mic position to high.
I do like high OH but it requires the right drummer with the right gear.
And it doesn't happen that often.
I spot mic the ride when this happens cause I know I will have to be subtle with the OH. And they now become the middle man between the close Mics and the room mics.
It seems to work for me as I think to it now but next drummer to come in will send me back to my drawing board again.
It is someone I don't know arriving on monday...
Lets enjoy a nice week end off...
