Where to place the Drums in the room?

Opinions on this?

The room is a drywalled basement with a low ceiling (prob about 8'.) Cement floor covered with carpet. The room is probably 20 x 30. The kit is against the back wall, standard stage setup. Any suggestions for better placement of the kit?

Right now I have crisply smeared mud if that makes any sense.

two questions about recording drums

I have to record drums next week. I've never done it before. I've got one Neumann TLM 103, one Shure SM57, two Shure SM58's and one Sennheiser 421 at my disposal (note: no bass drum mic)

I don't mind buying a bassdrum mic but which? The AKG D112? The Sennheiser E602? Something by Peavey? That's my first question.

Drums room mics - too much cymbal

hello.

I'm having an enormouse problem getting a drum sound at the moment. I generaly don't like to use too much close Micing but end up having to because I can't deal with the noise from the cymbals any other way. Lots of ride required. Room is smallish 15x12 and has quite a low ceiling.

I used to have foam on the ceiling but this got taken down when I re decorated.

Electron Drums Recommendations?

Our church is considering an upgrade to their drum set. We're currently using V-Drums; the Concert set, I believe.

Anyway, as hard as I'm trying to convince them to buy acoustic, I don't think it's gonna happen.

SOoooooooooooo... What's new in electronic drums? What brands should I research? What questions should I be asking?
