Need a new, small mixer

As of late my system involves a Delta 1010 sending to a Samson PL2404 mixer. Monitors are HR624s. The PL2404 has been very reliable but is a kink in the fidelity train. Time to upgrade. I don't need a ton of inputs. 4 stereo would suffice for now. I've looked at the newish Allen & Heath ZED series and feel like they would be a nice upgrade. Midas looks good as well.

setting up a small drum kit with one mic

Yes, i know it shouldn't be done, But it will be done :)

Having a few mates coming over for a bit of a recording jam session.

I only have a condenser mic, and we're going to aI'm recording just a small bass drum, snare and a ride cymbal - so a mini drum kit.

Anyone got any tips on where to position the mic, recording it and general EQ?

Cheers

Overheads: Large or Small Diaphragm?

i am about to invest in some nice overheads, and am not sure weather to buy a matched pair of small condensers or 2 large diaphragm condensers, to use as overheads. I mostly record heavy rock/pop, and like my drums to sound huge. currently using D112 on the kick, sm57's on top and bottom of the snare, and on the toms. Does anyone have any advice on what type of overheads would suit me best?
