I went back to studio and re-recorded one of the songs. I also made a recording of single hits on the cymbals and toms in order to have a source for cut-and-paste editing if needed.
While listening to raw tracks, I noticed a strange behaviour in the in front of kit mics. While playing loudly to bow of ride, the mics produce a slight "pop" sound, almost like a vocalist "p" without a pop filter. It might be caused by the edge of the cymbal blowing air to the direction of the mic. I could reproduce the phenomenon, and it seems to be related to the height of the mic versus the height and angle of the ride, so I have to be more careful with this in the future. I have not had this problem before, although I have recorded drums with similar type of setup before. This is not a major problem, I can most probably deal with it in the mixing phase, but anyway it is annoying.
