What I did (and what I often do with Jazz mixes)
-Pan the OH stereo image fairly wide
-Hard (24dB/oct) highpass filter the stereo image, hard filter away all F lower then aprox. 300Hz
-Put the HH fairly at the right (+/-25%) to complete the natural stereo image if you would be standing in front of a drumkit.
-If necessary highpass the HH too.
-Use an amount of exciter (aphex aural) on your OH stereo image
-Use an amount of exciter (if necessary) on the HH (for a sparkling HH chick)
-DON'T try to curb (compress) any dynamics of the drumkit in general, while in Jazz dynamics is too delicate, so about compressing keep it as clean as possible.

So thats what i mostly do Smile

Luc,
Thanks so much for your description of your overheads processing. I wish I had an exciter but I'd probably abuse it! LOL! I do most of the things you mention (recording and content specific, of course) so I'd guess the difference is the exciter.. Nice to know.

Jazz is a bit of my thing.

Hope you like my mix, your comment is welcome.

Cheers,
Luc

(Unfortunately there is some cymbal stand or bass click, cant get rid of it without compromising the mix, so left the click as is)

Update:
Spoke to Stefano Amerio and created my V2 from scrap. Listened carefully to Stefano's comments and agree V1 is crap, way too much.
Hope you like my V2 better. Stefano thank you for your great advise.
What a wonderfull recorded tracks to work with Wink

Cheers,
Luc

Excellent,bass needs a bit more lows to warm it up a little ,and maybe less compression on that bass? Imo,good job.
