using what you have, put your "money" mics and pres on the stereo
overhead.
if the drummer plays evenly like you said, you should be able to
get a very good sound with the 2-overheads, one-kick mic setup.
just put a compressor over the whole drum buss during mixing. it
will suck it all up and make it big sounding and add some more room
presence. you should be fine with what you have.
DId a session with a pair of sm-81's and the 41 that way using the RNC
a few years back. The 3 mics to stereo and a bit of compression to
pull it all out there works well for me if the drummer is truly a good
player and the room's reasonable at all.
WAs what we had and I thought we got a nice drum sound. DOn't ask me
what the settings were for the compressor. I tweaked the knobs until
I got a good sound on the drums for the individual songs, mostly
didn't have to touch the compressor once I got a good full kit sound.
Once it sounded good, hit record.
WIshed I could have sent that one in for the last R.A.P. disk but we
had artists that were anal about copyrights and permissions. GOt
permission from one but couldn't from the other and it was a partners'
deal, so without both people saying go ahead I couldn't send it in.
BUmmer.
