RE: Recording in/out of phase
oh crikey, thats a big topic... assuming both mic's/leads are in phase to start with (one mic is NOT wired up with a different 'hot' pin) then you're talking about spillage from one mic getting on another in a multi drum-mic setup, or even it can happen using just 2 mics to record something and they are different distances from the source - If recording using those 2 mics, sound picked up on one mic will be arriving at the mic diaphragm slightly earlier than it does at the further away mic... then when you use the 2 channels of recorded sound, one channel is slightly delayed... at the speed of sound (which isnt very fast) it's roughly a millisecond per foot
best to do some googling - there's thousands of articles on this on the www.. and also this is why sometimes a kit sounds really good with just the kikdrum and two overheads compared to a huge multi-mic setup
