Start by moving the SF-12 further away from the cymbal that's too loud.

I've got a jazz project I'm working on with OHs recorded with an SF-12.The
tracks sound nice except for occasional loud cymbals(crashes ect.)that
overpower
everything else.
What would be the best plan of attack to control the cymbals?So far I've
thought of compression,multiband compression,possible eqing,enhancers.Most of
the drum sound is coming from the overheads so I don't have many other
channels
to play with.I want to effect the rest of the kit as little as possible with
whatever I do,although I realize there will need to be some give and take to
control the cymbals
I recently got a KSP8 here at the studio so I'm going to try messing with
that
tommorroww.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
