For drums we recorded 2 MXL 603S condensers (overheads), 5 shure sm-57s (2 snare, 3 toms) and one beta-52 (kick drum). All going into 4 M-AUDIO Audiobuddy pres (these have 2 pres for each) running into a MOTU 828 MK II A/D converter soundcard that goes through firewire into our G4 powerbook running Logic express 7. All files are recorded onto a 120 gig external firewire hard drive.
In logic I am using Drumagog 4.2 and standard samples for snare bass drum and all the toms. Overheads are barely touched with just the compression shown above and a little reverb. Oh and the snare has just a touch of reverb, but not so much cause I kinda like the crisp sound.
Pardon my ignorance but if you used Drumagog why did you need 8 mics on the drum kit? I think that I know what 4NEK8ER was refering to. At about 2:52 the distortion on the drums during the fill becomes apparent. If that is Drumagog then you should maybe get some better samples.
