I play at home with two Sterling Audio large diaphragm condenser microphones as overheads and a bass drum mic (either D6 or D112, depending on my mood.) I run those three mics into a mixer, then listen through the Vic Firth isolation headphones.
Man, I absolutely love playing at home that way. I play in bands and stuff too, but for practicing or messing around at home, there's nothing better IMO. I also make a ton of YouTube videos using this same setup and the sounds are really, really good IMO.
I'm also controlling the volume, so it's not loud blasts to my ears every time I sit down to play. I love it.
