We present high order accurate numerical methods for the wave equation that combines efficient Hermite methods with eometrically flexible discontinuous Galerkin methods by using overset grids. Near boundaries we use thin boundary fitted curvilinear grids and in the volume we use Cartesian grids so that the computational complexity of the solvers approach a structured Cartesian Hermite method. Unlike many other overset methods we do not need to add artificial dissipation but we find that the built in dissipation of the Hermite and discontinuous Galerkin methods is sufficient to maintain stability. By numerical experiments we demonstrate the stability, accuracy, efficiency and applicability of the methods to forward and inverse problems.
