hi there...2 u all...i really need some advice from u all. pls help me out.

me and my friend had spent loads of money to make a home studio for our DEATH metal band..and we kinda got everything now.

here how we r facing trouble.

we got a MAC and CUEBASE SE3 Full version (purchased).
and i have a massive KIT...below is the pic

I'm trying to get ahold of some drum mics on a $200-300-ish budget... Any recommendations? I understand that just about anything that I get is going to be pretty low end, not to great, but then again, neither is my setup, and I'm just 16... working with band from my school on a demo, and some friends need stuff recorded to send off to colleges. How is the Shure PG kit?

which of these two mics are better for tons? SM57 or PG 56 (from the Shure drumkit)?

Thanks!

I'm going to start recording soon and i was wondering if anyone knows what is a good inexpensive overhead drum microphone is a bass drum microphone is?

I need to buy a set of drum mics and my budget is not even enough to buy one REAL mic. My kit is pretty big (2 snare, 4 tom, 1 BD, and 7 cymbals) and I want the sound of close Micing the toms so that rules out the 2 overheads and a bass mic method. Its between the CAD pro-7 pack and the Samson 7 or 8 kit. They both have good reviews considering thier price. Does anyone have any insight?

I'm wondering what a good mic preamp for recording drums is. Right now I use a four channel sytek non-tube mpx 4a(burr brown option on channel 3, 4). I want to know if I should look into getting a nice (1-2k ) tube pre, like Sebatron vmp4000. I use :

Hello! Just a few quick questions.

I currently have some cheap CAD mics on my drums that work pretty good but since I'm getting more serious about recording, I'll be needing some better mics. What drum mics would you reccommend?

it comes with only three mics i have two questions for you kind gentle ppl.

I've got some U87s and planning to buy a couple of DPA 4006s (with Brent Averill 1272 and soon a two-channel Grace). I want to be able to record solos or duos classical and jazz etc so for that like the warmth and clarity this set-up offers. However, I want to be versatile and for bread and butter need to expand into pop, jingles, whatever comes my way.

Hi Guys
Recently I recorded drums for a rock band with some rented mics and the results of the kick were shocking.
I used 57's on the snare and toms, Audix overheads and a BETA 52 for the kick drum.
