micing drums?

[trichards]

I'm a drummer about to record with a new band.

The music to be recorded requires stick and brush playing. I've done several recordings before for rock bands using 1 overhead condenser mic (akg c1000 i think), 1 sm57 on the kick drum and 1 sm57 for the two toms, 1 on the floor tom and one sm57 to milk both hi-hat and snare.

However, I'm not sure if this is an adequate setup or if there's a better way. I've also never recorded brushes.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Terry.
