I attempted setting up a simple recording upgrade last week, & it wasn't great. I've been messing around for a few hours today, & this is the result. It's 3 mic's, through a desk direct to 2 track, then into a Zoom Q3HD handy cam. There's no mixing possibility except for the up front balance into the camera.
Anyhow, I'm using two Rode NT5 overheads at shoulder height, & I'm fairly happy with the body & detail of the capture. Bass drum mic (D112) is 10" in front of the resonant head.
What do you think?

I'm hoping to use this setup as a basic tool for simple demonstration of drum sounds, so I need to get a consistently good but honest result. Room isn't exactly ideal, but the recording is fairly close to what I'm hearing when playing, except the bass drum is a bit one dimensional compared to the room sound.
