I've never recorded a drummer, however, my son did this for several years. He usually used 4 to 5 mics for the drummer alone, and there was always lots of EQing to do for every section of the drummer setup. I believe he recorded each section on a separate track so he could fine tune everything in the final edit. He frequently told me that recording a drummer, especially a rocker, was extremely difficult and time consuming.

Good Luck,

Gary
