Seeking Advice on Drums to Tape, Then Back to DAW Workflow with Multiple PCs

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here. I'm no stranger to amateur home recording, but I finally have 10 or so songs recently written with voice and acoustic guitar that I'll be arranging/adding instrumentation to via my home setup this coming year. Here is my gear list:

Gear advice moving from DIing to recording drums & amps

I've been recording my band for a while now using my lounge as a studio, but that's caused some serious compromises - we've had to use an electronic drum kit and DI our guitars due to noise issues. I've nothing against recording this way, but it really doesn't suit our style of music, hence we've never been happy with our recorded sound.

Programming Drums.

Hi Just joined in the hope to further my knowledge.

Im currently using Logic Pro to record and produce tracks. But I'm fairly in the dark as to how i can produce a drum track without Micing up a kit. so i would like to know what i need to program drums for a particular track that I'm recording. is there a plugin for logic? or do i need a completely separate program?

Recording e-drums through preamps - any difference?

Does it matter what kind of preamp a person records e-drums through? The sounds in the drum kit module are pro-quality already, but I imagine that what they go through before they hit the DAW can make a huge difference in their recorded quality. Am I correct in my assumption? If I send the TD-9 sounds through a Neve it should sound better than sending it through an ART or FMR RNP?
