But, to be fair, that's not necessarily an issue with mono compatibility. It'd be the same issue with mono overheads.
In the end I totally agree with you that getting drum mics in phase is the ideal situation but also there is nothing wrong with looking for a sound and flipping the phase of a mic and seeing what works best or different. What I'm really talking about isn't a drastic relationship between mics.
(part of what kills the snare in this one is the bottom mic being out of phase with the top mic.)

It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
