Due to financial reasons, I usually mic my drums with one decent quality condenser in the middle of the room...almost an "ambience" mic. With some eq I usually got good results. Im not a very good drummer, but most of the beats I make in my music are geared towards being relatively simple. I recently bought 4 mics for drums to take it to another level of quality and control. Two overheads, a snare, and a kick. I researched a ton and ended up with the D112, sm57 and two mxl 993's for the overheads. I spent a long time yesterday recording some drums tracks, and to be honest...I almost liked my original approach more. Not only was it less headache, but I also thought it sounded better. Maybe its my lack of education and experience to really get a great sound out of more mics, but its very tempting to return everything and get my money back. Should i stick it out? Is it worth it?
