Jay, I think you missed the start. The guy said he was broke and wanted to record drums. Which starts a discussion of buying mics, preamps, A/D convertors, etc. after you have a good drum recording space.
I suggested that as a low buck approach, you would
be better off recording the drumkit in a commercial
space, and then taking the tracks to your project
studio, adding in vocals, instruments, etc.
Of course doing more in a real studio would sound better.
But that isn't an option for someone starting out broke.
I find that I don't have the mic/preamps/rooms to have
success with Fletcher's three mic drumkit technique,
so I end up using 10 or so channels. That is a lot
of expense for a one time shot.
