I just can't get a good Drumset recording. I've tried everything. I can now (after a week) get a decent drumset recording, but not near what I want. I'm getting there, but I can't get anything better than what I have. I've tried multiple mic placements, volumes, etc.

-- note: I am a drummer by nature ;)

I just got done tuning them all as well and it sounds great, but the room I am has solid sheet rock (actual sheets of a rock, cement based) so it's pretty reverby in my room. Here is my setup.

(These are the only mic's I have available as well)
Shure Drumset MicKit

* Shure PG52 -- Bass Drum
* Shure PG56 -- High Tom
* Shure PG56 -- Mid Tom
* Shure PG56 -- Floor Tom
* Shure PG81 -- Overhead
* Shure PG81 -- Hi-hat
* Shure SM58 -- Snare (I don't have 57, only 58)
* Studio Projects B1 -- Overhead

My High tom and Mid Tom are on separate tracks on my UB2442fx mixer, then combined into one track on my Delta 1010LT card.

Hi-hat mic and the Shure overhead are also combined on the Delta 1010LT card.

So effectivly, I have each mic on a separate channel on the mixer, and using 6 inputs on my Delta 1010lt card. Then recorded with Cubase SX.

I'll post what I have recorded to show what I've been able to produce. I'll upload a Dry track, and also a wet track with eq, effects, etc. I'll also put up what I am going for.

My main problem is the bass sounds flat, with no real punch to it. And the whole kit sounds pretty reverby, like it was recorded with only one mic.
