cheers.....

I haven't tried to look at phasing on my Sonar. I go by ear and adjust either the physical location of the mics and/or reverse phase as an option in Sonar.

I intentionally set up a "studio drum kit" that doesn't move with the same mics, location, settings, etc to minimize re-configuration and phase issues between sessions and between songs.
