When recording drums do you :
1 - Time correct the close mics to the overheads?
2 - Time correct before tracking the rest of the band?
3 - Time correct at all?

I don't think when you do it is that crucial. It won't effect the other performances added later. It's not like you are changing the timing of the performance.
I've time corrected a few times. I wasn't that impressed by it. I didn't hear a whole lot of good coming out of it personally.
You can see the waveforms going up and down but this visual isn't always useful. It depends on what you are dealing with. If the second track is of dramatically different character, it may sound better when it's not in perfectly aligned phase. This has been my experience anyway.
