Default Re: PreSonus Firepod

Well, if you can fork over a large amount of money ($400 USD, so the same cost as the firepod) for a mic kit like this, then I would do that. Don't waste money on a cheap mic kit. A mic kit is good for buying multiple mics at one time because, even though they are expensive, you can save some money over buying individual mics. If you can't spend a large sum of money at one time, then I would buy individual mics in this order:
Overheads (2)
Bass Drum Mic
Snare Mic
tom mic(s)

Overheads are a good place to start because you can get a good drum sound with that. If you want a more modern sound (two overheads will give you something of a Beatles drum sound), you probably want to have a kick mic and a snare mic and build up from there.
