HH is captured mostly by the overheads.

Yes, but in the case you didn't miked it, you will need it during
mixdown.
And if you miked it, you wouln't need it in the mix...


Exactly !! LOL.

Not to mention if you want to ride the level for open hihat 'moments' during
grooves etc - it sounds lame doing it on the overheads!

Same with little flourishes here and there.

Or even if you just want to hear a little more 'stick' on the hat than you
generally get when its only coming out of the overheads.

Anyway, I suppose it depends on how detailed you want to get with the mix,
and whether nuances like that are important to you.....

Good luck!
