ok well right now i have my drumkit in my family room *yea the tv, windows coffee table the whole deal*

in any case i have 8 mics, room is about 15ft x 18ft decent sized... but its very open sounding... im micing the rack tom with a 57, and the floor tom with a 57. snare is a 57, bass is beta 52, and 2 over heads, 2 room mics.

im getting the worst bleed from my snare, and tom mics... i have thought of getting a pad on each of these mics but i dont know if thats necessary... any suggestions on minimizing bleed or tutorial on compressing/eq'ing it out perhaps?

any info is greatly appreciated.
