How do you guys track your drums?

Hey everyone quick question. How do you normally track your drums in your DAW? I've been trying to figure out how to record drums for some time now. I've gotten the mic placement side down just need to figure out how to track it in my DAW. I normally use a Sure SM57 on the snare, an Audix D6 on kick, 3 Sennheiser E604's on toms, and two Sterling Audio's for overheads. So 7 mics in all.

mic and mixing drums

hello everyone, this is my first post.

I have a cheap Behringer xenyx 1222 fx usb. it's a cheap mix cause I don't have cash to get propper material right now.

My drum kit is a pearl forum seriez and I use Istanbul samatya cymbals.

I have a Shure pg 52 on the bass drum, 2 samson co2 for overheads and a Shure sm58 for the snare.

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.
