Where are you ,
and how many mics are you using?
My drummer is using one at
multi-toms, 1 at the snares, and one at the double bass. Those in turn are picking up the hi-hats, and the rest of the brass. No matter how we adjust t inputs, he's either overpowering or can't be made out.. Just curious :)
You didn't say how many drums or cymbals your drummer uses, and that's very important when considering how many mics should be used (and where). If I on had 3 mics to use, I'd reduce my kit to 4 or 5 drums, at most.
Good luck!

The mics aren't the problem. We're just _OUT_ of inputs. He has an old 4 channel pevay, I'm using my new mesa bogie 4 channel guitar amp, and my bass player has a carvin bass amp. Add vocals and we're loaded.
He is playing a double bass kit (one bass per pedal). 1 Snare, 4 Toms, 1 rac of 5 multi toms,
and the sabian chinese gong. I'm counting 12 mics total
needed.. time to tell him to get a part time job :)

What's a "multi tom"? And how is different from a "Tom"?

Well that's 12 drums if my math is correct, so you'd need at least 16 mics (depending on the number and placement of the cymbals) to do a "prefessional micing job.

A multi tom is similar to the toms used by drum and bugle corps. Its got a great sound to lend with the madness we've been creating. You probablly have another term for them? I'm sure you've seen them. With drums, I point at eac and say.. loud, louder, ayep.. this outta wake em up. Well, time to invest i 20 channel mix. Hope to have some photos soon :)

Well I still don't know you're referring to when you say "multi tom". Do you mean concert toms? How are they different from "normal" toms?

LOL, I'm not a drummer :) He calls them "Multi Toms". Its a steel bar approx in length, with five heads of different sizes (in descending order) arranged it.
Would a picture be helpful?
You'd often seen these used in a marching band..
Now you've got me doing
sherades inbetween space bar hits.
I'll find and post a url..
