| The other day I put Brauner Phantom Vs in omni on the toms (1 tom and a floor tom) M260s directly, over the ride the crash and the hat, an AT3000 on sn up and an e604 on the bottom and I had image out the ass, I put another Phantom V in a tunnel and a Stedman N90 on the beater. The only eq was on the direct kik mic. This was a very "drum booth" sound , but a good one.
I would hire a mixer and get some more mics on the drums
I would take some trigger tracks (kik and sn)
For this type of music over and under micing of the drums is important as well as spots on each group of cymbals. It's important to capture faithfully your lo freuencies in the recording and not rely on in the box stuff to get good tight bass.
a bad room won't sound good with any speakers or mics.
The largest surface in almost any room is the floor to ceiling combo, the easiest to treat is the floor, carpets and chairs and tables bookcases can help. put the drums in the middle of a househood item valley
