Hiding, but really fixing the problem. It does depend on the effect the musician is trying to produce.
That's just promotion, but using panning, usually MIDI control instead of a noise effect unit, was really one method used to avoid the machine-gun effect (just naming it "machine" in the sense of "drum machine" is an understatement/downplaying of the issue).
In my case, I did mean machine. Machine gun would be something I use to refer to drum rolls :) But in this case, the HH is not straight timed notes. The timing shows quite a lot of variation. It is the sameness of the sound I was refering to.
This has taught me how much musicianship the average drummer puts into their playing. I certainly never thought about it when I was playing as the body movements are more subconsious than I thought. It is no wonder drummers choose drums over pads.
