Default Re: drum miking ideas for >this< kit?

My 2 cents based on the photo(and I like that the kit is setup at an angle to the room walls). Place the M-Audio mics(set the Solaris to Cardioid and no pad so it matches the Luna) about 6 feet back, chest high from the front "corners" of the kit. Put the 57 close in on the snare(maybe move it back a bit to get more hat if you need it) and put the 58 just into the hole on the bass drum. Then, after recording, consider using a drum replacement plugin(like Drumagog, TL Drum Rehab or Steven Slate's plugin) and blending in a good kick drum sample. Having said that, you have some budget options here. Its easy to add mic pre's to the 002 and as cheap as a $200 Behringer ADA8000(8 channels on lightpipe). But a well tuned and well played kit might work just as described(experimentation is the best teaching tool you can have). Dive in
