| It's easy: hire a great drummer who hits the snare like a man AND hits it consistently and controls the volume of the hi-hat. Result: not much disturbing hi hat leakage in the snare mic and you don't need to compress the loudest snare peaks with 15dB to get the snare even...
Really, if the drummer is good, it's no problem, if the drummer sucks, not much will help. Yes you can gate or expand the snare mic, but then you lose all the natural decay of the snare. A solid drummer is the only real solution.

Dirk
