Miking up your own drum kit

Hi, i was wondering if anybody could help me out woth some tips on how to mike up and record your own drum kits and get them to sound more like hip-hop drums rather then acoustic.Does anybody know any good drum kits to record?I've tried doing this before and they sounded too acoustic for the type of tracks i want to do.I know there going to sound acoustic because they are acoustic but if anybody knows any tricks to get them to sound more like drums from the majority of today's commercial hip-hop that would be great.Thanks alot.

Where is the point?
Use the sampler and a keyboard.
Or do you want the human feel? => use drumpads, trigger, audio to midi...

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ARCHIV BY USING REAL DRUMS????

Drums

My point is i want to stay fresh and have my own drums that nobody else has or can buy anywhere.I just want my drums to sound like hip-hop drums instead of rock n roll or acoustic sounding and miking up my own drums is the only way i can think of to have my own drums.Thanks

So you want your own custom sounds.

You don't need to record them!
Just tweek sounds you have, layer tehm, process them, eq them, use ADSR envelopse on...

Yeah,That sounds like a good idea.Thanks.If you dont mind can you please explain that a little bit more.I'm a beginner when it comes to eq,envelopes,ect.So you can actually change a sound like a snare you have and make it sound different?Thanks

I think most of what you are looking for can be achieved in the mix using a mixture of normal acoustic drums, samples, and gated tone generators.

There is an excellent thread around here about how to get a rather large sounding kick. Try searching Gearsultz.

kata,
you could track real drums. It would sound really cool if you got the right engineer and room. You'd need a small room with a good sound to it and a proper mic set-up. If you list the mic's you have access to and studio equipment I could suggest some things...but it really comes down to the drummer being able to play something like that.....
