Mixer for Drums - 12 XLR condenser mics & band

New here and also new at this.

I'm trying to find a mixer for drums and hopefully band as well.
Drums have 12 XLR condenser mics, all needing phantom power.
I'm thinking of 16-24 channels, but like I said, I'm brand new to mixing and I would appreciate any and all help.
It would be nice to be able to record as well, but a mix is the main thing here.

New mics on the block

I've finally decided on a few dynamics I'm going to include in my mic closet. My dynamics as of now only include 57's... two standards and two betas (I wish I was a bit more educated when I bought the betas though). I've tried to include as many quality, practical, and useful dynamic mics as I could in my price range (1200) and this is what I've come up with.
