Ian's smart. Don't spend $300-600 on crap that you'll outgrow immediately. Spend it on killer drum tracks recorded by pros. It seems like your goal is a musical one, judging by your post.

What were you going to use for mics and preamps, anyway? Even more crap? The final product from a pro studio will probably be 100 times better than what you could cobble together with your limited budget and knowledge of recording.

Save up your money and buy something of quality that will afford you some flexibility and will be of use for more than a few days. There's lots to learn and the most important parts might be what your witnessing when a pro AE records your drummer.

BTW, the Firewire based Firestation by Prosonus is flexible and sounds pretty good. Audio Interface, MIDI interface, 2 mic preamps, and stand alone AD/DA capabilities for about $600. Doesn't suck.
