You'll need a means of recording 8 inputs simultenously, or you need to be willing to record one track at a time (how that works with drums though, I wouldn't know :d: )

SONAR can handle those multiple tracks at once with ease.

If you meant recording all those drums onto one track, then looking for a program that can seperate those back out into the individual drum tracks - sorry, no program can do that. Audio is just too complex for algorithms to seperate out what's already overlapping.

You need a sound card with eight or more inputs, plus a small mixer like the Mackie 1402 that can send each microphone input to a separate output.

See my recent article from EQ magazine about connecting a mixer to a computer. It's first in the list on my Articles page:
