I NEVER use a ride and avoid as much as possible open high hats. I always double the snare and sometimes the kick. This lets me run the RD track a bit lower in gain but with a good snare pop and that "I think" makes the offending bits less noticeable. So...from a guy with tinnitus and a high freq loss it seems to work smile
