Good starting position for live miking applications. If the overhead microphones are only used for picking up the cymbals, unwanted signal portions can be attenuated by high pass filtering.
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so that the interfering sound source is located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 180°, see polar diagram).
