Not sure what guitar, but Butch Vig mic'd the guitar cab with 4 mics: a Shure SM57, a Sennheiser 421, an AKG C414, and a Neumann U87. Kurt would pick which sound he liked the best.

Which microphone is best for a saxophone?
It depends... On stage a Shure 57 will do nicely. Some prefer clip-on mics, but I find it limits your dynamics with regard to not being able to telescope while playing. If you want range of motion with a clip on you might want to check out the CXM5. If you are asking about a recording mic, that could be argued for century's by the many sound engineers whom all have different "cocktails" of recording gear. It is a matter of taste. Personally, I have never found any mic that can match the sound quality of the natural sound of my sax. If you can play with out one, that's what I would recommend.
What do you need to mic your drum set?
It depends on where you are, and what size building you are playing in. if you are in a small-medium hall, then most kits will be able to carry their sound over the rest of the music without needing amplifications at all, apart from maybe a mic underneath the hi-hat to pick up them and the snare. For large gigs, stadiums and the such, or recording, most people use: 1 capacitor mic above the ride 1 capacitor above the crash 1 capacitor above by the high hats 1 unidirectional mic by the snare, 1 by high tom, 1 by low tom, 1 by floor tom, and 1 by bass drum. This covers 8 tracks right there - and normally in recording practices you actually use 2 tracks per instrument, say track 1 cranked over to full left channel and track 2 cranked over to full right channel. This is what produces the true stereo effect.

Can I run a mixer through my powered mixer for drum mics?
Yes. In fact, I would recommend doing this instead of just running the mics through your band's powered mixer. That way, all your drum sounds (pre-mixed) will fit into just one input on your band's powered mixer. It takes about a minimum of 6 or 7 mics to capture a drum kit properly and that's a hell of a lot of inputs to be using on your band's P.A. Just run the mics through your own mixer, then run your mixer's "Main 1" output to your band's P.A. input. Use a balanced cable. Also, if the mixer that you are using is unpowered, then get yourself a couple powered monitors to run directly off of it so you can have some monitoring without using one of the the P.A. monitors. If your drum mixer IS powered, however, just get yourself some speakers and you've got yourself some monitors. In a nutshell, I recommend getting a small powered mixer for your drum mics (something with 100W minimum) with unpowered monitors running right off of it (use the "Main 2" output). Connect the mixer's "Main 1" output to your band's P.A. system for the final mix. But remember, if you do it like this, you have to dial in a good mix on your drum mics through your own little mixer because the sound guy will only be able to adjust the volume of the drum kit AS A WHOLE through the main P.A. system. This is what I do and it works very well.

What equipment do I need to record my own music to my laptop I already have full fruityloops. What equipment would i need mics filters mixers?
Drum mics: I'd recommend samples from MIDI files(email, or drum triggers) for basic drums(kick, snare, toms), and then just get good overhead condenser mics. There's alot of those, start cheap, with..let's say CAD CM217's, which have a buy one, get one free deal for $50 on Musicians Friend
How well does the AT2020 record vocals?
There's a lot more to recording vocals than just the mic. But assuming you have all other variables in place and of reasonable quality -- preamp, recording medium, engineer (or engineering, if you're doing it yourself) and most importantly a good singer -- you should be able to get a good recording out of it. That said, it would sound just as good (or bad) as most other condenser mics in its price range. I personally would go for the Behringer B1 or if budget permits then the B2-PRO; sure, they're kind of bright, but do really well on vocals, acoustic guitars, and as room mics.
