 Re: Drum mics?
My setup:
Sm57 on snare
Audix D6 on Kick
Shure PG57 on toms (x3)
No OH's at this time/this recording
The name of the game is tuning. Then comes mic placement, the mic choice. Tune up your drums good. Listen to the recorded sound, and move the mics accordingly.
If you have to "fix it in the mix", you are failing as a drummer. The drums need to sound good where ever you record them or you're screwed. Raw drum tracks, with exception of maybe the kick, should sound pretty usable in a final mix. However, things like compression, limiting, and EQ should be used to make the drums sound better if necessary/possible.
