Well, I'd say try micing the kick, and maybe run the snare through your preamp,
since that's what stands out the most in a kit, at least usually. I'd try the
Ortf overhead pair on the kit, I use it a lot, and it produces really good
results. Basically you set up a stand, and center it so your high tom is a bit
left, mid is almost dead center, and low is right. Then find a T bar at your
music store, this allows uyou to use two mics on one stand. You have the
center section of the T bar parallel to the floor, or flat across, and the two
sides dangling down and away from the center so you get a shape that's like a U
with the side pieces pulled apart slightly at the top, or an open trapezoid.
You put two mics on the bar, and have them crossing over each other, so both
capsules point down and away from the stand, one pointing towards left and one
right. It's hard to explain, but you want the mics to be laying on top of each
other, in sort of a squished X shape, so the capsules are about 6 inches apart,
and at a 110 degree angle. I've probably confused you, but if you cross your
arms, and your hands are the ends of the mic, you want your hands 6 inches
apart, and at that angle. What you get is a mic for each side of the kit, and
it produces a very wide stereo image and a good balance. The best way to do it
is with a boom stand, set in front of the kick and up pretty high, about 5 or 6
feet. The boom comes out over the drums and the mics point down. Sorry for
not being able to depict this very well.

Hi, guys:
I have a delta 44 card, and I need to record a live drummer, any tips on how
I can go about doing this?
I have a Yamaha mg 12 channels mixer, and a one channel presonus eureka
preamp. I would appreciate any response please.
