One of my ways of doing stereo overheads is to measure and adjust the same distance from both overhead mics to the snare drum. this gets rid of some phase issues in the high mids and the high end. So it‘s a much cleaner and natural sound. What do you think? Have you ever tried this?

As a drummer, i'm always am weirded out when hearing the drums on headphones. To me all sounds come from the wrong positions.

When there is the possibility that your mix, sent to listen with headphones, is independent of the room mix (the one that everyone listens to), ask the person who makes your monitoring mix to PAN (left-center-right ) of your instrument (drums) according to your sitting position. And if there is a possibility that you have a mixing controller for yourself only, then enjoy, take advantage of placing yourself as you want. But when the room mixing console also sends you a monitoring signal and does not have another independent PAN, then you will be subject to sharing the same mix, it would be a matter of agreement with the mixing engineer, the possibility that the location of the drums agrees with your view and not with that of the audience (that is perfectly possible and can be valid).

What mics are you using?

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I've been struggling with overhead positioning on my kit live, I believe I have the overheads too close to the cymbals, and it seems like creating some distance will help even things out a bit. Obviously a touch of EQ will help as well. Lately I feel like I could take the overheads out of the mix all together just because they're trashy in the drum mix, and every other mic on stage picks them up so I still get them in my in-ear mix anyways.
