Really depends what your going for and how much control you want to have in the mix - of course you know that Glenn John's 3 mic thing - maybe for live . If I we recording this I would use 14 mics minimum
(2) OH - evenly spaced
(1) Hat
(1) Snare Top
(1) Snare Bottom
(4) each Tom
(2) Each Kick inside
(2) Each Kick outside
(1) Room Mic @~ 3m from the whole kit at standing ear level
If you are doing metal - add (2) sub mics to the kick
If you think that is a lot - how many do you think Neil has??? check out the RCA - R77 in the rear
