Well, I like think I like understand your like problem.
Well, I like think I like understand your like problem.
If I got you right, you want to record your drums with 2 mics and have the 2 on separate mono channels so you can change levels, fx, etc. I assume you are currently taking a stereo output from your mixer straight into a 1/8" stereo jack on the sound card. So, all you have to do is pan one mic hard left and one hard right and split the stereo on your PC. If you're not using a stereo output on the mixer you'll have to buy a y splitter. Hope this helps.

Well, I assume you just have dynamic mics (not condensers). So you're going to have a little bit of trouble with only 2 mics. Check out this thread:

Its a pretty similar situation. But my best advice is mess around with placement and listen. Its going to take a lot of trial and error to get a good mix and a nice stereo image. It can be done though.....
