Hey

I'm looking into recording drums home studio style, using the Glyn John's recording technique...
I'm going to buy these mics (If you have better suggestions please they would be extremely welcome!
2 x Stagg CM-5050 condenser mic
1 x Stagg DM-5020 dynamic mic
1 x Stagg DM-5010H dynamic kick drum mic
I'd post links to these mics but i don't have the current privileges!
What audio interface would you suggest I look at getting? I have up to £200 to spend. i own a macbook pro so have a firewire input, but could also use a usb interface? I'd be using logic pro software wise.
Any suggestions would be extremely welcome! I'm not looking to buy second hand as I've had some awful experiences with second hand buys recently!
Thanks so much
Noah

I have to assume with the drums, you will need at least 4-6 channels. In your price range, the Tascam-1800 should be close to your budget. They are running abut $300 US, so you should be able to get something close. There are others, but I know this one gets pretty good ratings from folks here in that budget range. It is not high end studio quality, but it is rather good and will get you close enough for decent demos or good HR quality.
