Problem...I have three drum mics (2 OH + kick) and only two XLR inputs on my stand-alone DAW. The two XLR inputs are also the only inputs with phantom power. Does anyone have a solution? Is there more than one solution?

hey everybody i'm trying to figure out the best solution for Micing a standard set for an upcoming session...

I'm gonna record a real loud band. I usually use a V-drums system for drums but this time I want to record the drums 'real' I can use a very good room (15mx10m and 4m high). I want to make good use of this room for recording the drums, i have a RODE classic mic for this.

I have to rent some mics to mic up a drum kit. I would like 2 room mics, 2 overheads, 2 snare, 2 bass drum, tom and hat mics. I have an AT 4050 some 57's and a D112 already. I would love some recommendations on some mics I can rent to fufill my needs. Hopefully nothing to esoteric or hard to get as I have to find these hopefully fairly cheap. Opinions on Neumann km 184's or SM 81's?

I know this has probably been beaten to death before, but I'd like some comments on my version...

The other thread was getting so bloated, I thought I'd start a new one.

I've been reading with interest all the tributes to Recorderman's 2 drumstick overhead configuration, but have been kind of set in my ways about drum recording for a while. Finally, on a session today I thought I'd take the plunge and revamp everything I ordinarily do.

There's a concept at work out there, that if you think about it, makes some sense. At least to me it does.

Hi all,

ok, you have two extra tracks Micing a 4-pc drum kit and you have no mics on your toms and also no room mics. Do you set up two stereo room mics or two tom mics?
