I have a Aphex 1100 (stereo pre w/AES out as well), Boutique Audio 1272 pair, Api 312 Vin and 312 Avedis mod, Avalon 737 (7 pres in all) and a Brauner VM1 and C12 (green)
Ok, first I would lose the 737.
I never used the Brauner, so I can't say, but it could work on something, a floor tom, a high hat? Doesn't seem like it would be an ideal drum mic but you never know. The C12 would be great as a room mic, assuming the room sounds any good, otherwise scratch that.
My drum set up is:
(2)at4051a's for overheads
Senheiser E602 on kick
Beyer M201 on snare
AKG c535eb on hi-hat
(3) EV N/D 408a's on toms
I would put the API312 on snare and kick. The other 312's on overheads.
The 1272's on hi-hat and smallest tom. The Aphex 1100 on 2 bigger toms.
Also keep in mind, the high hat track may not be needed, or used at low volume, so it isn't so critical as long as the mic can be placed for good tone, and relative isolation.
