When recording multiple tracks for a drum kit, is it better to set up each individual track so that the full kit sounds good prior to recording or is it better to have each track at it's full potential then mix it to how you would like it to sound after recording?

Hey All, I know this isn't exatly on topic with drumming but I'm Hoping to get a Tattoo soon and I was thinking of getting John Bonham's Symbol from Led Zeppelin IV, for the reason that I'm born on the same day as him and I love his Drumming style and the work he did with Zep..

But i was wondering If you guys have any other good Ideas I should consider getting.

I'm looking for some overhead condenser mics. wat are the best kinds i can get for around 200 each?

so I got a D112 but it seems that there is a world of trial and error in front of me so I just want to ask to make sure that THIS is the kick drum mic for me.

I've never been very good at using drum samples... more of a loop guy. I was wondering if you could recommend some useful drum loop libraries for recording pop music similar to those artists mentioned in the subject line. Thanks! :)

ok so i bought some mics for me drums but i dont know what goes between them and my pc, since well my pc doesnt come with 7 phantom powered condenser in's :).

I have been setting up a studio over the past few months, and I've got good instruments as well as mics and amps now, but I have a question regarding recording multiple channels at once.

Greetings. I will be attempting to record a drum set for the first time ever, Monday, and was wondering if anyone would be willing to offer up any advice on getting a decent sound with what I have available. I know the kit is made by Tama and sounds pretty good live. He also has an assortment of Zildjian cymbals. I'm looking for a starting point as far as mic placement goes.

Hello,

I am looking for opinions on which of these mic's might best suit my needs. The D112, Audix D6, or the beta52.

I am doing live recordings in clubs via a digi002 and an octopre.

Preramble: I have been primarily using drum samples in my recordings and am looking to make the next big step to recording a full acoustic set. I currently have a home studio located where else, the basement, and have quickly figured out that a dead room isn’t always ideal, especially when it comes to drums.
