hate to jump on the bandwagon, but yeah, acoustic treatment. And not the auralex kind. Look around here for details on fiberglass insulation, i won't bore you with it, it's allover gearslutz. Check ethan winer's stuff. Real traps. And you could actually skip the kick mic if you wanted and consider your 012's for overheads, a 57 on snare and maybe toms if you need, and you could get away with doubling up the 58 up close and the sure a foot or two in front of the kick. It's more important that your drums themselves sound good. Plus, overheads kick and snare may very well be the only mics you want in your kind of setup. Kinda like you'd do jazz drums. And this is if you insist on live drums. Oh, and time align your drums to your overheads... you will notice a difference. Even if there's a lot of ring and bass nodes/cancellation in your room, you should still hear them tighten up. Um... Keep in mind too, that you'll need preamps for channels 5-8 on your 002. A small mixer could prove to be a versatile tool for you in the beginning. There's a lot you can do with that. Hope my 2 cents was of a little help. Oh, and I almost forgot: if you can get a friend to help you along, if you can't hire someone to engineer it that is, having a separate set of ears (and hands) and can help keep things in the real world.
