Our friend, the wonderful Dave Jerden is a well-known producer, but did you know he actually started out as an engineer? He's engineered some of the best records of all time, and he shared with me his rule for managing mic bleed.

When a drummer plays the rack tom, no other mic should pick up more than 9db worth of signal.

Dave would look at the VU meters and if they went up more than 9 DB then he would move the microphones into a place where they're picking up less DB.

There's always a compromise between picking up the drum itself (whether it be a rack tom, snare, floor, cymbals) and picking up too much bleed from other things.
