hi. i'm deciding what to buy. i'm on a limit budget (i'm only 16), but i've been recording drums and i want a kind of live sound (JimmyEatWorld/Weezer's Pinkerton), and i was wondering if a large diaphram condenser would be good for an overhead, the putting a sm57 on the snare, and a D112 in the kick, so the snare and kick a dominant but everything else is picked up nicely by the condenser and it gives a live room feel. would that work good? i was thinking of the Rode NT1, and later a preamp.
 
I think that would be a great set up to start with. The NT1 could also be used as your vocal mic and when you get more money later on you could add a second NT1 and record in stereo.
