I play in a hard rock band. I've recorded a couple times..but pretty
junior. I'm recording a kit this week with a PC using Delta1010LT and
a Mackie 1202-VLZ. I've got the ability to record 5 tracks for the kit
if need be.
I've got the following mics...
*2 x Shure Beta 57A
*1 x Shure Beta 52
*1 x Audio Technica 450HE
*1 x Shure Unidyme (Old School)
I'll put 1 x 57A on the snare, 1 x 52 on the kick drum.
Any recommendations on how to set the mics up beyond this?

The basic key to a natural kit sound is a good overhead or overhead pair.
You can survive with just a single overhead if it's a good enough mike
and you place it properly. Can you round up even one decent condenser
mike?

The better the overhead, the less spotting you'll need.
