Overhead choice for LOUD or LIVE performance drummers?

Hi everyone,

Over the years I've gradually taken on the job of *the guy who records stuff* in the three bands I play in.
My setup is focused on staying portable and leaning towards fast/easy to setup and break down, with all of my mics plugging into a Zoom Livetrak L-20. I don't own any ribbons or tube mics, and unlikely to in the short term.

How to reduce loud background noise when recording with Audacity

Hello. I just bought/set up my MXL 990 Condenser mic, and noticed I was getting static noise while listening to the playback after recording on Audacity. I've searched up this problem but found no solutions so far. I thought maybe it was my space being too noisy, so I tried to make it as quiet as I could.
