Drums and Microphone advice???

[limon68]

Hello all!!

My goal is to start recording drums. I am looking at getting a good versatile kit for pop/rock/country to use in the studio. I do not have a monster budget and I wanted to know if you could throw some advice my way.

My recording room is pretty small 10x10 so any advice on microphones, pre-amp choices would be great or how to deal with the acoustic shortcomings of a small room.

I was thinking of going D112 on the kick Senhieser 421's on toms and C1000s on the overheads is this too many mics for such a small room? Also my mixer is on order Trident S100

Should I consider tom and snare mics with a tighter patters due to the smaller room or maybe just open up the sound with a kick snare and overhead mics? I am sort of a fan of the natural minimal mic sound of bleed through but I am afraid such a small room will hurt this rather than help?

Anyone with experience recording in small rooms like this and getting a great sound I am all ears? I have years of studio experience but none with drums at all.

My room is acousticaly treated with all custom goodies bass traps, 703, hemholtz resonators blah, blah, $1000 and 3 months later..... so I am just looking for advice on microphones, studio drum kits and placements thanks.
