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.
