I play in a band and my drummer is left hand
I play most of the time in front of him, so for me sounds natural hear the hihat to the left that corresponds to the usual drum perspective
But even if we would be really purist, also audience perspective is wrong in our mixing job
Drums are usually so far from the listener, we should pan the close mics dead center and pan hard left and right just the rooms mics
We always recreate an artificial space, we love feel ourself on stage with the band and at the end, like someone said, if it sounds good, sounds good
my 2 cents
P.S. nice mix
